IMPORTANT: As set out in the charter, which each partner signs, the resources below are to be used on the basis of a simple testimony shared with people who may have questions about faith, particularly in relation to sport. Secularism is based on three principles: freedom of conscience, the freedom to manifest one’s convictions within the limits of respect for public order, the separation of public institutions and religious organizations, and the equality of all before the law, whatever their beliefs or convictions. It’s also important to understand that we’re here to bring real benevolence to society, to respond to needs, and not to proselytize, especially around competition venues.
