IRAN - WORST POLITICAL UNREST FOR 30 YEARS CAUSES CONCERN AMONG THE CHURCHES

Posted Jul 4, 08:33 AM

Church leaders in Iran are increasingly concerned by the political instability that is wracking Iranian politics and disrupting life in Tehran. History shows that such unrest leads all too readily to disorder and lawlessness, especially where religious minorities are concerned. Combined with the hardening of the rhetorical tone from the Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, and the religious tension that already exists in Iran, such concerns almost seem understated.

Praise God that at the time of writing there had been no escalation of attacks on Christians or the Church in Iran. Pray that with the foreign media blackout currently imposed, no advantage may be taken of the increased secrecy to attack Iranian believers.
