I was reading a very good article in The Economist today- http://www.economist.com/node/21524851. The article examined post revolutionary Egypt. It is amazing to see how far the country has come, while still noting the ways in which Christians could face persecution. As the Arab Spring continues, we cannot forget about Christians in the region. Even though [...]
