Like the beginning of any new year we tend to reflect on the previous year and plan for the year ahead (often in the form of New Year's Resolutions).
We all live busy lives but can I ask YOU to pause for 5 minutes and take time to contemplate on the situation faced by persecuted Christians around the globe?
- According to the International Society for Human Rights, 80% of all instances of religious persecution worldwide are directed against Christians
- Communist regimes such as the one in North Korea strongly oppose Christianity and restrict believers' activities
- Islamic fundamentalists such as those in Iraq and Syria ask Christians to: "Convert to Islam, pay a fine, or face death by the sword!"
- Countries such as Sri Lanka and India view Christianity as a threat to their national identity
I wish to invite everyone in Scotland to stand in solidarity with Christians who are persecuted and oppressed because of their faith.
Will YOU stand with us this year?
