Chuck Colson wrote a very interesting piece on how Iraq is a very difficult place for Christians, yet no one has really stepped up to the plate to do anything about it.

Colson is wise enough to observe that without any direct intervention in the Christian minorities lives "a Christian community that survived invasions by the Persians, Muslims, Mongols and Ottomans, might not survive the American liberation of Iraq. They certainly will not survive our indifference."

Remember we are a kingdom, people!  Apathy or indifference is typical of any nation bent on its own interests before a religious minority, but it is not the characteristic of one body, which is Christ.

May we live in such a way that all religious communities are blessed, including those that are most persecuted.
