Ministry Fighting Persecution Frets Over Surge … in West

An organization that long has fought persecution of Christians in locations where they are minorities, regions dominated by Islam, Hinduism, or other influences, now is expressing alarm about the surging attacks it is noticing in Western countries, where Christians for generations have been the majority.


And the group is blaming, at least partly, government or government-backed organizations. The recent report comes from Barnabas Fund, which for more than 25 years has helped Christians who are persecuted.

“However,” said the recent report, “we are increasingly concerned about the growing level of harassment of Christians in the West.”


Persecution comes in a wide range of forms around the globe, the report explains. There is information discrimination where Christians are simply denied jobs, and then official discrimination where universities in some countries require Christian applicants to get higher marks than those of the majority religion.

Then there is vigilante persecution where Christians face threats and violence and finally, official persecution, in which unfair treatment is “sanctioned by the government or law.”

“Over the last few years we have watched the level of persecution being experienced by Christians around the world increasing. However, we have also witnessed with growing concern a significant increase in the level of discrimination and harassment experienced by Christians in the West. 


We have seen Christians lose their jobs because they are Christians, for example in 2006 Nadia Eweida an Egyptian born Christian was sent home by British Airways for wearing a small cross, something that is at least as important to Middle Eastern Christians as Muslims wearing a head covering,” the report said.

Paul Marshall, Lela Gilbert and Nina Shea have collaborated to create “Persecuted: The Global Assault on Christians,” which confirms that groups like Pew Research, Newsweek and The Economist also identify Christians as “the world’s most widely persecuted religious group.”

“An increasing number of public sector jobs now effectively require employees to at least notionally assent to a secular humanist worldview, including, for example acceptance that homosexual relationships are morally ‘good’ in same way that heterosexual marriage is.
