In 2009, Archbishop Ben Kwashi of Jos, Nigeria, who has survived three serious attempts on his life, and seen his wife Gloria and other family members beaten and abused because of their faith, made this challenge to the Church in the West.
“If we have a faith worth living for, it is a faith worth dying for. Don’t you [in the West] compromise the faith we are living and dying for.”
(Quoted in ‘The Very Stones Cry Out: The Persecuted Church: Pain, Passion and Praise’, Baroness Caroline Cox and Benedict Rogers, 2011 (Bloomsbury)
