- I am posting this to r.m.c, despite its being off-topic, as there may
- not be time for it to be posted on s.r.c while it is still relevant.
-
-
- The following appeared in todays (23rd Dec's) "Scotsman" newspaper.
- I'm typing it in verbatim (all typo's mine)
-
- "Appeal to Spare Preachers
-
- President Fidel Ramos appealed yesterday to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia
- to spare two Filipinos reported to be facing execution on Christmas
- day for preaching Christianity in the Islamic country.
-
- Oswaldo Magdangal and Renato Posedio have been in prison in Saudi
- Arabia for two months after allegedly trying to build a Christian
- church.
-
- Saudi Arabia does not permit the open practive of religions other than
- Islam and proselytising is also forbidden"
-
-
- Can I suggest that we all pray that the King will have mercy and
- commute or repeal the sentences. Maybe we should also pray for the
- Christians who will be commemorating Christ's birth in secret in Saudi
- and other countries, and thank God for our own freedom to worship.
-
- In Him
