In today's Christian News Daily, we cover the rising persecution of Christians in Iran, including increased arrests and the heartbreaking case of an Iranian Christian asylum-seeker couple facing separation in the U.S. due to immigration policies. We also report on police alleged inaction in the abduction and forced conversion of a Christian minor in Pakistan. Plus, Christian academics boldly share their faith at Newcastle University, the Global Methodist Church surpasses 7,000 congregations, and new survey data reveals women are just as likely as men to hold Christian nationalist views. #christianity #christiannews #iran #religiouspersecution #asylumseekers #pakistan #forcedconversion #christiannationalism #globalmethodistchurch #newcastleuniversity
