John Pontifex at ACN has been tireless in his advocacy in the UK for Christians suffering persecution throughout the world – and not only Catholics – but notably in the Middle East, given the plight of the Eastern Catholic Churches.
Thus, as Christians in Syria celebrated Easter amid increasing acts of violence and oppression, he spoke to BBC World presenter Tim Willcox about the hopes and fears of a community enduring the Way of the Cross. See – www.acnuk.org/syria – and also – www.acnuk.org/persecution for the striking ACN report and film presentations, Persecuted and Forgotten.
Supporting ACN UK, spiritually and practically, is an important part of the Society’s mission and service.
