About this sermon
A Christian pastor in Iran was released from prison just this month after being arrested and charged with "acting against national security" and promoting "Zionist Christianity." Prior to his arrest in 2018, Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was also sentenced to death for apostasy and evangelism, charges that were later dropped. Director of Advocacy of Global Religious Freedom for ADF International, Kelsey Zorzi, joins to tell us a little more about the pastor and what led to the charges and his arrest. Iran is considered an Islamic Republic, that said, Zorzi shares what life is like for Christians and other religious minorities who do not practice the official state religion. Zorzi discusses where Pastor Nadarkhani is now and how he is doing. ADF International also assisted another Iranian who faced persecution for his religious beliefs and sought asylum in Sweden. Zorzi explains more about this case. She fills us in on what other cases she is working on. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
