Christians Under Attack

Late last week I came across an article in the Spectator (found here) about the persecution of the church in India. Surprisingly (at least it was surprising to me), the Sikh PM of India called the attacks "acts of national shame". Even though India considers itself a "secular state... multireligious, multicultural", Christians are being physically attacked, churches are being damaged, and at least one person is dead. "Hindu hardliners" are blamed for these attacks that have destroyed church buildings, driven people into the wilderness and left many dead.

We are so blessed to be in a country where we face very little overt persecution. This type of conflict is far too common in other countries and we need to be reminded of it. We need to pray for our brothers and sisters across the world. Please read the article and be in prayer.
