Thank you for these articles. I'm in a small town church and we rarely hear much of what is going on in the larger Christian world apart from our own denomination. I coordinate our prayer ministry, and can add these concerns.

This is one of the things you people do best. Being liberal as I am, I often disagree with some of the things you place out for reading. But news such as this is so important.

Keep doing this, the church needs to hear this, we as members of the body of Christ need to tell our government representatives about these things and some how we need to tell those of this persecuted body of believers that there are people who care.

They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men, 16 hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.
