From CT global correspondent Jill Nelson: I arrived on the island of Malta—where the apostle Paul was shipwrecked around AD 60—at a striking moment. As people gathered in a conference room to discuss how best to promote religious freedom across the Middle East, Pakistan, and beyond, the war in Iran was just two days old, and some chairs sat empty. About 20 people couldn’t make the conference after airlines canceled flights from the Middle East.

Still, the summit provided a measure of hope. Christians, Muslims, and Jews came together to learn, collaborate, and share action plans for advancing religious freedom. A panel of three experts on Syria raised their concerns about crimes against Kurds and other minorities. Egyptian panelists talked about their work with youth in their country. Iran also loomed large in the discussions as facilitators explored possible scenarios for regime change with an emphasis on religious freedom.
