The Horn of Africa is home to one of the oldest Christian churches in the world - Christianity there dates back 16-hundred years. But Christians in Eritrea are under attack from the government. The persecution of evangelical groups has now spread to members of the Orthodox Church.
A very sad report I heard over the radio last night. I also found it sad the Eritrean Orthodox Church sat back while evangelical congregations were targetted originally. It reminds me of Pastor Martin Niemöller poem First they came....
Lord, have mercy!
