Article of Faith #11

We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

I think this one is pretty straightforward, but I think that it is a good reminder that there are people and points in history where this wasn't so straightforward. I love that it says privilege. It is a privilege to worship God the way we feel is right. I am grateful for that blessing and gift I have to live in a time and in a country where the only thing the prevents me from worshipping the way I should/want to is myself. It really makes me want to take advantage of the gift more and make sure I don't take my scriptures or church attendance for granted.
