I am interested to hear what ABC Radio National’s The Spirit of Things has to say in, Religion Under Attack,
One third of the world’s population is experiencing increased religious persecution according to Pew Research Center’s recent study on religion in the public sphere. Brian Grim, Director of Cross National Data, talks about the implications, while Gregor Puppinck of the European Centre for Law and Justice discusses the seminal case which challenged the presence of the crucifix in Italian schools.
This is a huge issue for us, not just because Christian communities are being persecuted and attacked, but because God calls us to love our neighbour as ourselves. Read Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37-40.
In the words of the prophet Micah (6:8), No, the Lord has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God. [PS These words form the centre piece of the stained glass window at the front of All Saints Anglican Parish, Swansea which celebrated its 140th anniversary last Sunday 🙂 ]
This Sunday 6pm 13 November, repeated Tuesday 1pm and Wednesday 2am. Presented by Rachael Kohn.
