Alright, I apologize mods, if I put this in the wrong place. It doesn't have to do with Narnia, but it does Christianity, but it's important to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. As a Journalist, and a Christian I felt I had to post this as my heart was immediately grieved.
Today, a Protestant Bible College in China was raided and 36 students and teachers were arrested and detained (thrown in jail). One of those arrested was a pastor - vice president of the Chinese House Church alliance which numbers 500, 000 people of loosely organized house churches.
There has been an increase in arrests in the last few months and it also mentions that Catholic priests and nuns are facing the same persecution, and are under constant duress from the Communist powers that be.
