While our shallow “journalistic” coverage, only driven by our shallow American desire for, well, all things American and culturally relevant to us… and can really stir up controversy on social media… fixates on one county in Kentucky, the story we refuse to pay attention to, among so many, is the immigrant crisis in Europe.

More persecution. How we need to lift up the Body of Christ in prayer! Bishop Angaelos, the general bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, underscored the Ethiopians’ testimony. “Once again we see innocent Christians murdered purely for refusing to renounce their faith,” he said in a statement. “As Christians, we remain… Read more
