To Christians in the Western World: A Call to Action

[Sarah G van G]

''Religious persecution has risen worldwide for three years in a row to astonishing rates. Over 215 million Christians live in countries where they are subject to harassment, discrimination, physical violence, and even death. In a recent study, Open Doors reported that every month 322 Christians are killed, 214 churches are destroyed, and approximately 772 acts of violence are committed against Christians. The Pew Research Center recently stated that in 2014 “roughly three-quarters of the world’s 7.2 billion people (74 percent) were living in countries with high or very high restrictions or hostilities” involving religion. The Christian population in Iraq alone has plummeted from 1.5 million in 2003 to current estimates of about 275,000. Estimates indicate that between the years 2005 and 2015, approximately 900,000 Christians were killed, an average of about 90,000 a year. In short, Christians are persecuted in more countries than ever before, and are killed more than any other religious group.''
