Speaking Out for Freedom in China

Last updated on: July 20, 2016 at 11:08 pm   By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Last Thursday, a particularly hot and humid day in Washington, DC, I spoke at the annual rally for freedom in China at the U.S. Capitol, sponsored by the Falun Gong. Joining members of Congress and other human rights advocates, I expressed my solidarity with all those who yearn for religious and political freedom in the People’s Republic of China, and my admiration for their intrepid spirits. I marvel at the thousands of Falun Gong practitioners and other supporters that come... Read more

Sermons on Biblical Sexuality “Sometimes” Illegal in Iowa

Last updated on: July 6, 2016 at 11:39 am   By Chelsen Vicari

The last place you might expect to find a commission aiming to control church services is Iowa. California, sure. But not Iowa. Even so, the Iowa Civil Rights Commission is interpreting a state Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) law to censor church sermons on Christian sexual ethics when services are open to the public (…which apparently isn’t every Sunday?) and force churches to open its restroom facilities to members of the opposite sex. According to Iowa’s unelected commission and... Read more

The Failure of Evangelical Youth Conferences

Last updated on: June 17, 2016 at 9:45 am   By Chelsen Vicari

Bazi told the story of how the Islamic State is attempting to Islamize Iraq by eradicating the Christian faith. But just as when a mirror is smashed, the image it reflected is multiplied over and over in the shards of glass, the broken and crushed Iraqi... Read more
