The news: An opinion piece in The Observer Post draws a sharp contrast between the international mourning that followed the loss of a historic church in Jordan and the relative silence surrounding ongoing attacks on Christians and burning churches in India. The author challenges both the global church community and Indian civil society to reckon with this disparity.
Why it matters for church leaders: Indian pastors and ministry leaders live this reality every day — but seeing it named publicly matters. When the suffering of Indian Christians is undercovered or ignored, it affects advocacy, legal protection, and even the morale of congregations facing hostility. Leaders need to know they are not invisible.
The takeaway: Document every incident of harassment or attack at your church — photographs, FIRs, dates, and witnesses — and report them to your denominational network and organizations like the Evangelical Fellowship of India so a clear record exists.
