Pope: vocations, witness to the truth
Francis releases message for World Day on 11 May. For him, "every vocation, even within the variety of paths, always requires an exodus from oneself in order to centre one's life on Christ and on his Gospel."

Young Christian Killed and Beheaded by Jihadists in Syria
Yet another disturbing report has come from Syria. Two Christian young men driving from the city of Homs to a Christian village were attacked by a group of jihadists who opened fire on the car, forcing it to stop. After seeing a cross worn by one of the two men inside they pulled him out and beheaded him. The other, believed to be dead was left after the Jihadists looted the car. The second man was able to reach a nearby town and receive treatment. This is just the latest incident illustrating the horrific shadow war on Christians taking place inside the large-scale conflict across Syria that has attracted thousands of foreign fighters from around the world.
Old Wine, New Skin? An Analysis of Egypt’s New Constitution
As Egyptians headed to the polls to vote on a new constitution clashes occurred on the streets around the voting areas. What had Egyptians come out to vote on? Would it hold any real promise for change from the one enacted just some 13 months ago? There are some substantial changes to the constitution that strengthen the rights of minorities, particularly Christians. Some of the worrying signs about the place of Sharia in establishing law remains, however, the most dangerous aspect of that application has been removed in the new law. The Coptic Pope Tawadros endorsed the document and encouraged Christians to vote in favor of it.
CAN Decries Slaughter of Christians in Northern Nigeria
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed its continued concern over the killing of Christian in northern Nigeria. The country continues to face threats from the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram, whose stated goal is to establish a separate Islamic state in northern Nigeria. As a part of its campaign of terror, Boko Haram has committed and incited brutal acts of violence against Christians living in northern Nigeria. The killings have gotten so bad and so consistent, that CAN has likened the situation to the Rwandan genocide.
Buddhist Nationalists Continue to Terrorize Christians in Sri Lanka
For the past 18 months, Christian persecution and religious intolerance has skyrocketed on the island nation of Sri Lanka. Driven by Buddhist nationalism, attacks on Christians and their places of worship reached a highpoint of over 65 separate attacks in 2013. To begin 2014, two Christian centers in the tourist city of Hikkaduwa were attacked by a mob led by Buddhist radicals. Will the conditions of religious tolerance change in 2014?

Vietnamese Authorities Threaten to Take Land From Christians
Vietnam, one of the five remaining Communist nations on earth, maintains a tight grip on religious minorities in the country. Recently authorities have been using high pressure tactics in an attempt to expropriate land from the Catholic Church in Ho Chi Minh City. Authorities even went so far to threaten a priest in his hospital bed, though he responded by telling them "I am ready for martyrdom for the parish and the Church of Vietnam."
Turkey’s Christians Fear Possible Hate Campaign
In the days surrounding Christmas, a number of organizations staged protests throughout Istanbul denouncing the celebration of Christmas and New Year’s as unislamic and furthering drawing people away from their faith and making them susceptible to missionary activities. What became more disturbing was that the demonstrations contained the stabbing and attacking of effigies symbolizing Christianity. In a country that has seen violent attacks on Christians within the past decade, largely motivated by campaigns similar to this, it is extremely worrisome. It also highlights the double standard present in Turkish society when people have charges regularly brought against them for “insulting religious feelings” for things such as retweeting a 13th C. poem, yet a staged public protest actively encouraging violent opposition against Christianity goes unaddressed.
U.S. Pastor Cancels Trip to India
After being allowed to travel to India and hold a large prayer service, Evangelist Benny Hinn has cancelled his trip to India. While there is not indication as to why the evangelist cancelled the event, many believe it was at least partially due to the level of resistance made by Hindu nationalists. When the evangelist announced his plans for the prayer service, Hindu nationalists lodged a complaint in court in an attempt to block the evangelist's ability to travel to India. When the court announced the prayer service could be held, many Hindu nationalists declared that they would protest.

The case has many in the United States concerned about what appears to be a steady decline in protections for religious freedoms.
