Christians suffer increase in persecution; 245 MILLION face violence, oppression…

Christians suffered an increase in persecution last year with 245 MILLION facing violence or oppression around the world - 30 million more than a year ago

http://archive.today/2019.01.16-162259/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6598209/Christians-suffered-increase-persecution-year-245-MILLION-facing-violence.html

Christians around the world suffered a huge increase in persecution last year - with around 30 million more people being targeted than in the previous year. A report by Open Doors, a Dutch charity that supports persecuted Christians showed that in total, 245 million faced violence or oppression in 2018, with 73 countries listed as danger zones for Christians. China has been named among the most dangerous places to be a Christian after new laws governing religious expression led to raids and the demolition of scores of churches.

At least 50 million people expected to experience some form of repression this year as the government tightens its controls over religious worship While India has also seen a spate of against ultra-nationalists against non-Hindu minorites - the report claimed. 'Rising nationalism is leading to similar persecution in other countries such as Bhutan, Myanmar and Nepal where national identity is tied to religion,' the charity said. Open Doors said in its 2019 World Watch List, which ranks 50 countries, that one in three Christians face high levels of persecution in Asia - as India entered the top 10 for the first time.

It comes just three weeks after Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt ordered an independent review into the persecution of Christians worldwide. Hunt said: 'Britain has long championed international religious freedom, and the prime minister underlined our global leadership on this issue when she appointed my excellent colleague Lord Ahmad as her special envoy on freedom of religion or belief. 'So often the persecution of Christians is a telling early warning sign of the persecution of every minority'.

China is talked about a lot on here, but most people forget there are 20million Catholics in India alone, belonging to the historic Syro-Malabar church and the latin church. Even with the enormous persecution, Christianity is growing faster in China and India than it is even maintaining in the West.

Honestly, outside of the US, Greece, and Ireland, I can't think of many 'Western' countries that are Christian anymore. Eastern Europe and Russia is now the heartland of Christianity in Europe, and the western hemisphere belongs to Latin Christians.

Lord have mercy on all of our brothers and sisters persecuted across the world.
