Congressional representatives graded on global religious freedom actions

One-third of Congress again received “above average” scores on global religious liberty, according to an analysis of the latest session.

The International Religious Freedom Congressional Scorecard showed the 115th Congress (2017–2018) had the same percentage of members who scored “above average” as did the 114th Congress (2015–2016). The 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative (21Wilberforce) issued the scorecard in July.

21Wilberforce gave A or A+ grades to 48 congressional members, 31 Democrats and 17 Republicans. The scorecard is available at www.IRFscorecard.org. (BP)
