MASS PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS is now ON A COLOSSAL SCALE, said the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, Met. Hilarion, in his speech to the general assembly of the World Council of Churches a week ago. He said that in recent years the persecution of Christians has assumed a colossal scale ... every year more than a hundred thousand Christians die a violent death. According to published data, no less than one hundred million Christians worldwide are now subject to discrimination and persecution. Information on the oppression of Christians comes in from Iraq, Syria, Egypt, North Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and a number of other countries. Our brothers and sisters are being killed, driven from their homes and separated from their families and loved ones; they are denied the right to practice their faith and educate their children according to their religious beliefs. Christians are the most persecuted religious community on the planet.
