Going Away for a While

“Before being Catholic, Orthodox, Syrian, Armenian or Protestant, we are Christians.” from the Turkish Episcopal Conference letter to the Turkish churches living in fear.
I have found out more news from India, via Persecution.org. Kandhamal, in Orissa has been burning since September. Fifty villages have been gutted.

I wrote two articles on the Word of God and “Widows and Orphans” and now that the elections in America are over, I want to express my opinion about what the Churches are responsible for.
