Comment of the Day: Anglican shot dead in Somalia

Comment of the Day, from Joe: 'This is to let you know the sad news that David Mohamed Ali, a Somali Christian evangelist and a long-standing member of St Matthew's, was shot dead last week by two Islamist terrorists in Badoia, Somalia, because of his Christian faith. He had been sent to Badoia by Ethiopian and Somali border police, for reasons that are not clear. David was an intelligent and gifted evangelist who thought deeply about his faith.'

Ruth;

A Sad Situation...

Persecution of Christians Goes all the way back to The time of Jesus. He was crucified by the Religious-Political Jewish Religious Leaders.

In the Book of Acts Chapter 4 we read where the Ruling Religious leaders persecuted Apostle Peter.

In Acts chapter 6 Apostle Stephen was stoned to Death..Etc.
Jesus warned his Apostles That The World Hated Him long before they hated them (Apostles). The Romans made sport out of killing Christians in The Roman Coliseium. On And On And On.
