Persecution

Persecution of Christians is alive and well, sadly. I've come across a number of stories and not in the places you'd normally expect to see them. For forced conversions and murders in Orissa, India there is this story from today's Observer. From a recent Sunday Telegraph comes this story of execution for being a Christian in Iran and for some reaction start over at Cranmer.

Organisations in the UK that give good information on these issues:

• Christian Solidarity Worldwide
• Release International
• Open Doors UK
• The Barnabas Fund
