2+ hour, 13+ min ago (656+ words) They're killing Christians in other countries, often with impunity. And many Christians in America seem either ignorant or apathetic about it. Perhaps many of us fail to act because we are not sure how we can help. But religious freedom is exceedingly important. America began because of anti-Christian persecution. Many of the original colonies were peopled by Christians of one brand or another seeking the freedom to worship Jesus here without harassment from the government. As they worded it in the New England Confederation of 1643: "We all came into these parts of America with one and the same end and aim, namely, to advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and to enjoy the liberties of the Gospel in purity with peace." Another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and we are reminded of the Pilgrims and their first Thanksgiving…...

3+ hour, 2+ min ago (598+ words) (RNS) " In late November, in a clumsily handled policy change, the U.S. Coast Guard first changed its designation of the swastika from "hate symbol" to a "potentially divisive symbol." Then, after an outcry, it was changed back to "hate symbol." This roller coaster caused anguish for many American and resident Hindus, Buddhists and Jains, for whom this is a fundamental symbol of faith and good luck. It has also again exposed the pervasive problem of failing to distinguish the sacred swastika from the Nazi Hakenkreuz.

The Western press, reporting on the rise of Hitler, similarly called the symbol the Hakenkreuz. Faulty translations at the…...

3+ hour, 51+ min ago (433+ words) Thousands of Palestinian Christians and Muslims gathered in Bethlehem's Manger Square, in front of the Church of the Nativity at the weekend for the Christmas tree lighting ceremony - the first one in three years. There were hymns and prayers for peace in the Dec. 6 two hour ceremony, Independent Catholic News'reported. An unyielding economic crisis has lashed Bethlehem and the entire West Bank in recent years. First, there was the drain on tourists and pilgrims during the COVID-19 pandemic, and then the austere restrictions imposed by Israel more recently forced many established shops and hotels to close. The city is hoping that the return of the Christmas lights will signal to the world that Bethlehem is making a comeback. During the Gaza War, ignited on Oct 7, 2023, all public celebrations for Christmas were cancelled in Bethlehem due to restrictions in the occupied…...
