Meet the Man Coming for Your Church

Dear John:

During this Holy Week, we must remember the hostile world Our Lord entered into. Indeed, all His life He lived among those who wished him ill.

He also knew that we, His followers, would inevitably live among those who wish us ill.

They would hate us because they hated Him first. And we wear this as a badge of honor.

I want you to meet a man who wishes us ill.

His name is Ahmad Shaheed, and he is the UN Special Rapporteur (a fancy French word for “reporter”) on Freedom of Religion.

Now, with a title like that, you’d expect he’d be our friend. No, he is our enemy. He wishes us ill.

In his newly launched annual report, he allies himself and the UN with the sexual revolutionaries over Christian believers.

He says any laws that flow from Christian belief on abortion and homosexuality must be overturned. He says, “States have an obligation…to create an enabling environment where pluralist and progressive understandings can manifest.”

This representative of the UN human rights system is saying Christians and Christian beliefs have no place in the public square. He says we must be silent.

C-Fam, the publisher of the Friday Fax, issued a statement condemning this new report. We did it in his presence at the UN.

We will not be silenced. We will not allow our brothers and sisters in Christ to be silenced. We will continue standing up to the UN bullies no matter the cost in reputation.

I ask you to join us in the resistance to the progressive Church-haters who want nothing more than a silent and neutered Church.

I ask you to join us in prayer this Holy Week. This is an apt time to pray for true religious freedom, the freedom to take our beliefs into the public square, and push for laws that reflect them.

We cannot do this without your prayers and your financial support.

I promise to pray for you. I ask you to pray for us. And please support our work. C-Fam works practically alone defending these assaults at the UN. I daresay hardly anyone in the world knows the name of Ahmad Shaheed and what he is trying to do. But we do. We stand on the ramparts every day.

Stand with us in your prayers and with your financial support.

Yours in Christ during this Holy Week,

Austin Ruse
