Well, one is readership. I don’t have many readers anymore. The other is that the church has generally no response except to pray for the persecuted. We’ve relied on governments to put pressure on other governments to tighten laws or policing. I don’t watch anymore but CBN,Christian Broadcasting Network used to feature persecution stories in India and the Mid East.
