Persecution

My Way News - Egypt's coup puts fearful Christians in a corner
My Way News reports: "While Islamists are on the defensive in Cairo following the military coup that ousted President Mohammed Morsi, in Assiut and elsewhere in Egypt's deep south they are waging a stepped-up hate campaign, claiming the country's Christian minority somehow engineered Morsi's downfall. [...]  The hostility led a coalition of 16 Egyptian rights groups to warn on Wednesday of a wave of violence to come, and to demand that the post-coup authorities protect the Christians who are 10 percent of the population, and suffer chronic discrimination."

Comment: Please  join me in praying for the church in Egypt, that they will persevere with grace and faith, reacting with love and not fear or a desire for revenge.
