There have been legal demands that a Christian student remove a Christian banner from a public high school in Rhode Island. Henry Neufeld describes the case. I hadn't heard of it before.
He also has a few things to say about Christian claims of being persecuted in North America -- it's seldom really persecution.
Thanks for reading. Read Neufeld.
A related matter took place in North Carolina recently. See here for the story of "equal treatment."
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
I agree with the writer of the article and with you, Martin. We American don't know what persecution is. It may be that we will find out before the Lord returns. I hope we will learn the lessons He taught us, to go the extra mile, to turn the other cheek, to rejoice when we are reviled and persecuted, and to pray for our enemies.
ReplyDeleteThanks, FancyHorse. I couldn't say it better.
