One Year After Arab Spring, the Middle East Needs Christ's Message of Peace
Posted: 03/ 1/2012 12:41 pm Richard Stearns
With battles raging in Syria, the Arab Spring is no longer the popular hopeful movement it was a year ago. Just as the popular protests for human rights were spreading from Tunisia to Egypt and across the Middle East last year, I visited a Christian family in the West Bank. Their work illustrates why the presence of Christians is so needed throughout the Middle East even as political winds add uncertainty to the ability of this minority group to thrive. Christians, with their ancient roots in the region, provide a unique and essential message of peace and freedom.
