Persecuted Church
This story from India, Hindu Fundamentalists in Orissa Unleash Attacks Against Church, which reports the raping of nun, the burning of bibles, the vandalization of churches, the intimidation of converts, and asaults on Catholics and Protestants alike, should be a reminder to all of us on Thanksgiving Day that there are still places where being a Christian is a courageous act of defiance involving the risking of one's own life and wellbeing.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
