Pastoral Letter Persecuted Church

Ninth day of May of the year 2017

To our sisters and brothers in Christ facing persecution and martyrdom, we greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We write to you as Christians living in the United States where we do not face immediate danger of persecution and martyrdom in living our faith as do you. We write as Christians troubled not only by the persecution of our fellow believers and other religious communities, but also by the attempts of some seeking to eradicate Christian communities in what can only be named genocide.
