British Christian publications have been wondering if we are witnessing the “extinction of Christianity in Egypt“, where the Christian faithful have suffered persecution and terror attacks at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists. Christian leaders also seem to be wondering if Christianity will be “extinct within a generation” in the UK, where religious people enjoy total freedom of worship and faith. Last year, the Church of England began to formulate a religious revolution. Its canonical laws require that British churches hold their functions every Sunday. The dramatic crisis of Christianity in the UK, however, is pushing the Anglican church to

It has emerged young Guides members are not being invited to thank God during grace, under guidance being issued to leaders in a bid boost inclusivity. While acknowledging that it “may be traditional to say or sing grace before a meal” during a residential event, the advice urges leaders to consider “how this might make members who are from a different faith, or have no faith, feel.” It recommends: “If you’d like to say something before a meal, try to think of a statement that doesn’t make reference to any particular god or faith.

Over the past several months I’ve been covering the rapid acceleration toward mandatory biometric identification at U.S. airports. At the core of this increased push is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection mandate 15 years in the making to integrate government databases for ID verification. As we’ve seen with airlines such as JetBlue, private companies will be merged into the government system in order to speed up biometric processing. JetBlue is working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and SITA, an information-technology provider for airlines. … “This is the first integration of biometric authorization by the

‘”The show aired 11/30/17 but the article relates how this yearly classic almost never made it to TV in the first place.” Admin ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ is beloved by so many, but it almost didn’t make it to the air when it was originally produced It first aired on television sets across America back in 1965 — and it’s been running ever since. This week, ABC will air the show to millions of adoring fans, old and new alike. Indeed, it now seems inconceivable to think of the holiday season without the classic cartoon, but the story of

Robert Mueller, a former director of the FBI who is working as a special prosecutor “investigating” a contrived hoax designed by the military/security complex and the DNC to destroy the Trump presidency, has yet to produce a scrap of evidence that Russiagate is anything but orchestrated fake news. As William Binney and other top experts have said, if there is evidence of Russiagate, the NSA would have it. No investigation would be necessary. So where is the evidence? It is a revelation of how corrupt Washington is that a fake scandal is being investigated while a real scandal is

“How long this ticking time bomb has before it explodes is anyone’s guess but when it does watch out.” Admin But only a few lost souls in Congress care.Even as lawmakers are trying to cobble together a tax-cut bill that would cut revenues by $1.5 trillion over ten years, the gross national debt has spiked $723 billion over the past 12 weeks since Congress suspended the “debt ceiling.” It just hit $20.57 trillion, or 105% of GDP. Over the past six years, since November 2011, the gross national debt has surged nearly 40%, or by $5.8 trillion. Back in 2011,

“We’ll see what ramifications this will have down the road but it appears to open the door for states to ban semi-auto rifles if they want to.” Admin Today the Supreme Court let stand the Fourth Circuit’s holding in Kolbe v.

“With Christianity on the decline and far left ideology on the rise you can expect all sorts of deviant behavior to be legitimized. If you have young girls in this organization it’s time to get them out.” Admin Male guides who “identify” as female will be allowed to shower with girls during camping trips, Girlguiding UK literature has revealed.

“Unfortunately this and other types of harassment are becoming more common on campuses dominated by leftist administrators when someone they disagree with tries to speak. Free speech in their minds exists only for those speakers whose agendas they agree with. Be careful parents where your sons and daughters attend college.” Admin It is no surprise that students at Stanford University disrupted best-selling author Robert Spencer’s lecture on November 14. Given the lead-up to his talk — “Jihad and the Dangers of Radical Islam: An Honest Discussion” — the scenario was scripted in advance, with the encouragement and support of

Berea College is apparently afraid of alumni and parents being reminded of Psalm 139:13: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” The Christian college near Lexington, Kentucky – known for its “no-tuition promise” to every student it enrolls – allegedly approved a student pro-life display during its Homecoming weekend and then proceeded to harass the students throughout the day.

“Good article on who is heading up the Church of Sweden and how this explains the recent changes in the church handbook on the dropping of “He and Lord” when referring to God. Unfortunately the future of the church there looks rather grim. Lots of other good articles on gatestone as well, check them out too.” Admin The Church of Sweden, although no longer a state church, remains an important force in Swedish society. In a time when Sweden’s political, media, and academic establishment are eager to jettison pretty much everything that makes Sweden Swedish, no institution plays a more

“Another sign of just how spiritually dead churches in Europe are.” Admin The Church of Sweden has voted to adopt a controversial new handbook which says masculine references to God, such as “He” and “Lord” should be scrapped so as to be more “inclusive”.

Gospel references have been stripped from a nativity story because children’s fundamental biblical knowledge is so minimal they would fail to understand it, a leading Christian charity has said. Scripture Union, one of the UK’s oldest Christian organisations for young people and children, have also simplified the story ahead of sending out the picture book, The First Christmas, to over 105,000 children this year. Whilst previous publications have included Bible references and encouraged children to compare the story to the Gospels, this simplified version is written from the angle that children reading the book will know very little about

Chinese officials and residents in a rural area of Jiangxi province have revealed a government plan to “melt the hard ice” in the hearts of Christians towards communism by denying them pivotal poverty relief packages if they do not replace images of Jesus in their households with photos of President Xi Jinping. One official stated that the move was necessary because Christians are “ignorant” and need to be taught to worship the state, not God. The move is the latest in a string of crackdowns against Christianity in the Xi era. Xi’s regime views Christianity, which has experienced a

“It’s astounding what’s going on in once “Merry Old England”. It seems each passing year sees new laws/guidelines leading to an ever increasing totalitarian society.” Admin Official guidelines insist a hate crime must be driven by “hostility”, but when contacted, many UK forces are unable to give a definition of what they mean by “hostility” in the context of hate crimes.

09/26/17 A tide of anti-Christian bigotry is growing in the corridors of Congress. Two remarkable things unfolded last week. The Democrats openly embraced socialism in the form of single-payer health care. And they announced a secular, anti-Christian test for public office. The two go together like Abbott and Costello. Or better yet, since this is far from funny, Marx and Lenin. “Democratic Socialist” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ scheme for a single-payer, government-run health care system has already been endorsed by 16 Democratic senators. A similar bill introduced by Rep. John Conyers, Michigan Democrat, has 117 co-sponsors.
