A Christian boomer assesses the spiritual legacy of a generation

A three-week long blockade in Armenia stands to disrupt upcoming Orthodox Christmas celebrations in Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed enclave.

The US branch of Open Doors International, a group advocating for the persecuted church, has broken away and changed names.

Who’s really keeping up with their “quiet time”? Two-thirds of US churchgoers say they do daily devotions.

A Christian boomer assesses the spiritual legacy of a generation. But it’s not too late to be a force for change.

Behind the story

From Emily Belz: Working in Christian media in New York and D.C., I’ve spent a good bit of time with international religious freedom advocates either at the UN in New York or in Congress and federal agencies in D.C. It’s a small community of staffers working on that issue, partly because religious freedom doesn’t draw in a lot of media attention or excite a lot of donors. But many religious freedom groups hobble through year after year with small budgets and limited staffing.

Open Doors has always been a hugely helpful resource to reporters like me. Because that professional world of religious freedom advocates is small, it’s a big deal when organizational changes happen. That’s why we reported on some of the shifts at Open Doors USA.
