What Is To Be Done? Responding to the Global Persecution of Christians
Symposium of the Under Caesar’s Sword Project
How do Christians respond to persecution? How can the rest of the world exercise solidarity with them? What can be learned from studying Christian persecution that can be applied by those who are concerned about the persecution of any individual or group.
This day-long public symposium will feature the launch of the report, In Response to Persecution, a screening of the documentary Under Caesar’s Sword, and will propose concrete recommendations for action by government, civil society organizations, and faith communities. It will feature globally prominent speakers on religious freedom and leading scholars of global Christianity, including former Ambassadors, U.S. State Department officials, and Parliamentarians.
