| Article Two |
| Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty. |
| When you think of your experience of Jesus--in scripture, tradition, reason, and spiritual experience: --What suggests that we are entitled to freedom? --What evidence do we have that Jesus makes no distinctions of the kind listed above? --Are there distinctions Jesus rejects that are not mentioned above? In your view, does the language of Article 2 of the Declaration: --Limit the forms of discrimination that should be rejected? --Apply only to governments or nation-states? |
