Chinese and Texas Christians Under Attack in Thailand
This week, I urgently called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the Department of State to take immediate action to intervene on behalf of the Chinese and American Christians who had been detained by Thai police. These detainees, members of the Shenzhen Holy Reformed Church, also known as the Mayflower Church, face the grim prospect of deportation back to China, where they would likely be subjected to imprisonment, torture, and further persecution for their faith.
I demanded that the Biden administration recognize the gravity of the situation and act swiftly to secure the safety and well-being of these individuals. I firmly believe that under no circumstances should the members of the Mayflower Church be allowed to face persecution again in China. It is our moral duty as a nation that champions religious freedom and human rights to stand up for these vulnerable individuals and take decisive action to ensure their safety.
A recent Wall Street Journal Poll revealed a large-scale decline in religious faith, patriotism, desire to have a family, and involvement in their community across our country over the last few decades.
Is this decline in American values good or bad for the fabric of our society?
Recent findings from a Wall Street Journal-NORC poll reveal a deeply troubling trend for those who believe in the traditional values that shaped America's founding and national character. The survey reports a significant decline in the importance of patriotism, religious faith, family values, and other core principles among the public. This decline is not only a cause for concern but also a call to action for those who believe in preserving the greatness of our nation.
