The Civil Forum will focus on persecuted Christians worldwide. Nov. 8 is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP), which is one of the largest prayer events in the world. The prime purposes of the Civic Forum on the Persecuted Church are to raise awareness of how many believers are suffering persecution and atrocities around the world because of their faith and to emphasize Christians’ responsibility to support them, especially through the power of prayer.
The Civil Forum on the Persecuted Church will be moderated by Dr. Rick Warren, founder and pastor of Saddleback Church, best-selling author and global strategist. Other participants will be Michael Cromartie, vice chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and Rev. Dishan Wickramaratne, senior pastor of People’s Church Assembly of God, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The Civil Forum is designed to promote personal responsibility, social civility and spiritual maturity. The Civil Forum is held several times a year and is hosted by Saddleback Church. For more information on the Civil Forum, click here.
Carl Moeller states that “This is a wonderful opportunity to focus on the state of religious freedom around the world”. He went on to say “But also to inform those attending the Civil Forum about our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ and what we in the West can do to support them. Of course, there will be a time of prayer for persecuted Christians – something that is always their No. 1 request when I visit them in restricted countries worldwide.”
