The Hardships Christians Face in Turkey

[Bruce Michael]

in modern Muslim Turkey the patriarch doesn't feel very welcome. Turkish authorities have seized Christian properties and closed Christian churches, monasteries and schools. His parishioners are afraid that the authorities want to force Bartholomew and his church - the oldest of all Christian churches - out of Turkey.

This is shameful behavior by the Turkish government. It is a disaster to Christianity that the Turkish government seek out to destroy an ancient religious establishment like this. And it will be a disaster to history as well if we let this destroy one of the earliest Christian establishments perish like this.
