Release International are doing great work supporting the persecuted church around the world and helping Christians who enjoy freedom to respond to the issues involved. Their regular podcast is good way into this whole subject, which you can find here. Andy Bannister was a guest on one of their recent editions where they enjoyed a wide ranging discussion. One of the things which came up was the difficult subject of understanding suffering from a Christian perspective – in a context when many of the people Release supports, suffer not because theyhave done wrong, but because they rightly identify with Jesus.
