A famous Christian priest has recently been stabbed while preaching. Mar Mari.

He has asked for prayers not only for his health but also for the person who stabbed him.

This hurts.

Christianity persecution is getting worse.

Thousands of Christians have been killed, and almost 10k churches were attacked last year. (From what ive heard)

But we still dont lose faith. Pray for those who hurt you, leave the revenge for God.

“The only thing evil hates is forgiveness.”

ChatGPT could create a NEW RELIGION by writing its own sacred texts, historian claims

The Hollywood blockbuster depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside a simulated reality that intelligent…

I bet you've heard a lot of things about communism and Christianity, but you haven't heard what happened to other religious groups in the Soviet Union. Well, I found out something surprising.

Here's the full story, because evangelicals sure aren't telling it.

Friendly reminder there's a difference between people online being selfrighteous assholes and persecution

Your religion being mocked is nothing like the countless threats of bombings to synagogues.

You feeling unaccepted by tumblr's other religious groups are not equivalent to the constant hate crimes of others.

You may find cruel antitheist remarks, but you aren't being beaten because you wore a cross necklace outside.

The oppression the Bible talks about is when nearly all apostles were hunted down and killed, not you feeling unwelcome.

I have been working on Internal Family Systems for 10 months and finally the good little Christian child came out throwing punches and screaming about every adult in her life had convinced her it was best to sacrifice her future. That it would make Jesus happy.

Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Egyptian authorities said on Monday that most of the deaths from a fire at a Coptic Christian church in Cairo were due to smoke inhalation the stampede of people rushing to get out.

At least 41 people died after the church caught fire on Sunday, including more than a dozen children between the ages of 5 and 13. The deaths also included Coptic Christian priest Abdel Maseeh Bakhit.

The Egyptian Health Ministry noted the deaths related to smoke and the stampede in a tweet on Monday.

Egypt's Coptic Christian community has complained for years that government restrictions on construction, renovation and repair of churches have been part of a larger pattern of discrimination.

Egyptian prosecutor Hamada el-Sawy said he's ordered an investigation into Sunday's fire.

A preliminary inquiry indicated that a backup generator on the second floor exploded when the building's electricity was turned back on. Worshipers had gathered inside the small room where the generator was located.

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi issued directives to the Armed Forces Engineering Authority to restore and repair the church.

"We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and pray for the injured and wounded, trusting that the hand of God will have mercy on us all," the Pope of Alexandria, Patriarch of the See of St. Mark, Tawadros II, said according to the Egypt Independent.

Today, the Church commemorates the solemnity of SS. Peter and Paul, Apostles and Martyrs.

Orate pro nobis.

Both St. Peter and St. Paul have their own special feast day, so why is their a solemn commemoration for them together? The reason is that this day recalls to our minds the fact that they both were martyred (some say on the same day) in Rome during Nero’s genocidal persecution of Christians.

The significance of their martyrdom as the focus of this solemnity reveals this commemoration as one of remembering all who have been martyred for their faith in Jesus.

Christians are the single most persecuted religious people on the planet. Most people have never heard that. I’ve been trying to raise awareness of this fact as a priest for 20 years.

Open Doors, an organization that tracks persecution of Christians worldwide, provides direct support, and releases an annual report on the persecution of Christians (https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/), notices an “alarming” increase in violence against Christians by Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, the number of religiously motivated killings jumped from 4,650 in 2021 to 5,014 in 2022 — making up 89% of all religiously motivated killings worldwide. The rest are by Socialist/Communist regimes. That means on average 15 Christians are martyred daily, mostly at the hands of Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa.

The global Muslim jihadist assault is destabilizing countries in West and Central Africa as well as other nations around the world. Entire countries are at risk of collapse into extremist violence. 26 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa face high levels of persecution; half of these have violence scores in the “extremely high” range.

The global Muslim jihadist movement, which seeks to expand Sharia across not just the African continent, but the whole world, has forced Christians into constant motion, from their homes to displacement camps, or to other countries. The insecurity stemming from this experience of forced displacement makes Christians even more vulnerable to further violence. Christian girls and women, in particular, are targeted for sexual assault and being sold into slavery, while men are more likely to lose their lives, and boys are either sold into slavery or forced to become Muslims and jihadists.

Today, more than 360 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. In Open Doors’ World Watch List top 50 alone, 312 million Christians face very high or extreme levels of persecution. Christians killed in 2023 so far have numbered 80% more than five years ago (3,066).

As we go about our days, let us bear in mind the cost of being a disciple of Jesus, that for some it is a social norm and therefore not very costly, and for others it costs everything.

May we who live in nations where being a Christian is safe never forget the deadly plight of those who live daily in the valley of the shadow of death, and let us pray for their strength to remain faithful to the one who rose victorious from the grave.

Almighty God, whose blessed apostles Peter and Paul glorified you by their martyrdom: Grant that your Church, instructed by their teaching and example, and knit together in unity by your Spirit, may ever stand firm upon the one foundation, which is Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen.
