“Like Christ himself,
the apostles were unceasingly bent upon bearing witness to the truth of God.
They showed special courage in speaking ‘the word of God with boldness’ (Acts
4:31) before the people and their rulers. With a firm faith they held that the
gospel is indeed the power of God unto salvation for all who believe.... They
followed the example of the gentleness and respectfulness of Christ”
(Declaration on Religious Freedom, 11).
