Prince Charles asks for 'practical' support of persecuted Christians in Middle East
December 21, 2015
Britain’s Prince Charles has called for international action in the face of persecution that “threatens the very existence of Christianity in the land of its birth.”
The Prince of Wales made a plea for “practical” action to help Christians in the Middle East, at a reception hosted by Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster. Cardinal Nichols, in his own remarks, said that the suffering Christians of the region could accurately be called martyrs. “Christians are being driven from their homes simply because, being Christians, they will not submit to the demands of the Islamic State,” he said.
