The threat of violence against Christians is always there, and incidents involving Salamat Masih, Ayub Masih, and others are deplorable. But in recent years there has been far more violence between political antagonists (as in Karachi) or religious sects (e.g., Sunni-Shiah clashes and murders) than against Christians.

The best news is that increasing numbers—Muslims, Hindu tribals, as well as Christians—are hearing the message of God's love in Christ and seeing it demonstrated.

Past Action Rregretted
Four years ago Christianity Today ran a news article regarding a dispute of copyright infringement between AMG publishers and Moody Press. I was the individual who contacted CT with this information [CT, June 19, 1995, p. 42].

I am writing now to express my deepest regret for having taken that action. Although my motives were clear to me and utterly without malice, in retrospect I realize that I caused unnecessary injury to the president of AMG, Spiros Zodhiates. I acted as his judge and implicated him in a way that was unfair and unchristian.

I am glad to say that Dr. and Mrs. Zodhiates have kindly allowed me to visit them at their home, where I sought and received their unqualified forgiveness. Their love for Christ and service to him have been a blessing to many, and now most especially to me, their erring brother.
