Christians in the margin because of woke ideology

As long as a story looks fresh and awake, people are willing to believe anything. Even if it is patently untrue. Fertile ground for propaganda. And even for a totalitarian society.

Dutch Archpriest Theodoor van der Voort cannot understand Patriarch Kirill

The Russian Orthodox Archpriest Theodoor van der Voort cannot understand why the head of his Church, Patriarch Kirill, is supporting President Vladimir Putin in the war against Ukraine. "I got to know him as someone who has an eye for people. What is happening now is incomprehensible."

Ukrainian pastor believes in greater end than peace on earth

He hopes to celebrate his 92nd birthday in Zjitomir, Ukraine. He was not planning to flee but did it anyways, immediately after the Russian invasion. That is why pastor Daniil Michalovitz Vinogradsky has been in the Netherlands since early March. Unexpected turns or seeming contradictions in life do not surprise him anymore. His life has been full of them.
