From CT global correspondent Jill Nelson: I arrived on the island of Malta—where the apostle Paul was shipwrecked around AD 60—at a striking moment. As people gathered in a conference room to discuss how best to promote religious freedom across the Middle East, Pakistan, and beyond, the war in Iran was just two days old, and some chairs sat empty. About 20 people couldn’t make the conference after airlines canceled flights from the Middle East. |
|
Still, the summit provided a measure of hope. Christians, Muslims, and Jews came together to learn, collaborate, and share action plans for advancing religious freedom. A panel of three experts on Syria raised their concerns about crimes against Kurds and other minorities. Egyptian panelists talked about their work with youth in their country. Iran also loomed large in the discussions as facilitators explored possible scenarios for regime change with an emphasis on religious freedom. |
|
In a final exercise, groups gathered to share their action plans, wrestling with key questions: What problem do you want to solve? What change do you want to see? Who might oppose you? You can read more about the ideas I encountered—particularly among those aiming to counter antisemitism—in my latest story. |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit. |
