About this sermon

A new report from Nigeria says that at least 36 Christians were killed over the weekend in an attack by heavily armed jihadists. The assault targeted the home village of Bishop Wilfred Anagbe, who earlier this year testified before the U.S. Congress about ongoing Christian persecution and the Nigerian government's failure to act. In addition to the killings, a priest and several religious sisters were kidnapped. Douglas Burton, manager of TruthNigeria.com and a former U.S. State Department official, joins to share what we know about the horrific attacks and any updates on those who were kidnapped. Lastly, he shares whether there has been any response from the Nigerian government regarding the terrible events that occurred over the weekend. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
