Video Discription |
A court in Pakistan has acquitted a Christian man who had been facing the death penalty for blasphemy. 40-year-old Sawan Masih from the Eastern city of Lahore was arrested back in 2013 after allegedly insulting the Prophet Mohammed during a conversation with a Muslim friend. The father of three was then sentenced to death in 2014 under Pakistan's blasphemy laws and has spent the last six years in prison. Mr. Masih has always denied the charge of blasphemy claiming the allegation was fabricated by a local businessman who wanted to steal his property and drive Christians from his neighborhood. This week the Lahore High Court sided with Mr. Masih and quashed his conviction. Pakistan is an officially Muslim country.
Catholic League defends charismatic Christian group from attack
The civil rights advocacy group, the Catholic League, has jumped to the defense of the charismatic Christian organization, People of Praise, of which U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, is a member. Catholic League President Bill Donohue notes that, in a bid to block Judge Barrett’s appointment, some of her opponents have suggested that People of Praise is, “a fringe cult”. Mr. Donohue says that such claims are nonsense, stating that the ecumenical community is, in fact, comprised of many well-educated Christians. Hence, he says, any U.S. Senator who wishes to vote against Judge Barrett will have to do better than representing People of Praise as, “some kind of nutty organization.”
Archbishop Akubeze: Prayer most potent weapon in fighting Nigeria’s problems
Prayer is the most potent weapon that Nigerian Christians have when it comes to tackling the problems of Africa’s most populous country. That’s the proposition of Archbishop Augustine Akubeze of Benin City. He issued his comments upon the 60th anniversary of Nigerian independence this month. In a speech entitled “Urgent call to save Nigeria at 60 from total collapse”, Archbishop Akubeze noted that it was difficult to celebrate the nation’s Diamond Jubilee when so many Nigerians are poor, hungry, or subject to sectarian violence.

It was established by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2005 to provide grants to charities and places of worship to help enhance their security measures.
