Far too often American Christians complain about religious persecution at the hands - or mouths - of people like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. Some might even consider the friendly swipes offered here at BC out of line. It is well for anyone who has ever mistaken disagreement or the disparaging joke or two to read about real persecution. From India to Iraq, the last few weeks have been full of stories of horrific violence in the name of religion. Let's all say a prayer for those whose lives are in danger for what they believe. Let's all take a moment for some much needed perspective.

I'll email photos of some of the villagers from a remote village in Orissa where I visited last year... these people have been abandoned by all but a small, local Christian community development group!
