An Urgent discussion. “They used Christian churches as target practice”

Telegraph UK. “King Charles has spoken out in support of persecuted Christians around the world after attending a service at Westminster Abbey dedicated to those facing violence and discrimination for their faith.

The King said his thoughts were with people “in areas where it is not easy to live out one’s faith”, as Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe warned of the “massive persecution of Christians in so many places”.

It comes amid renewed international focus on the treatment of Christians, after Donald Trump threatened action against Nigeria over killings, and comedian Bill Maher described the situation there as a “genocide”.

Tim Stanley is joined by Father Benedict Kiely who runs Nasarean.org, a charity that advocates on behalf of Christians and helps them to stay in their countries by funding start-ups. They talk about the Middle East, what is happening in Nigeria and the status of Christians today.
