International figures show that 80% of all religious persecution is against Christians and it is estimated 200 million Christians are not free to live their faith without discrimination, oppression or persecution.
With this in mind, a major international conference will be held in Malta on May 12 and 13 focusing on religious freedom and the persecution Christians face.
Stephen Axisa, director of Aid to the Church in Need (Malta), said it was amazing that “so few of us are aware of the scale of suffering being endured by our brothers and sisters in Christ”.
Attendance is free but one should register. For more details send an e-mail to info@acnmalta.org or phone 2148 7818.
