  • Algeria: repeated attacks

    World Watch Monitor

    The pastor of a church in southern Algeria reported on November 12 a fresh attack on his church – the third of its kind – which he says proves that some Algerians are against the presence of churches in their country

    The attackers threw a tyre inside the building and then tried to smash the gate into the building. They dispersed when the police arrived, but none were arrested.

  • Belgium: killing children?

    The Christian Institute

    Belgium is closer to introducing child euthanasia, after a Senate committee voted 13–4 in favour of the proposals in late November.

    The Bill, which extends euthanasia to children of any age suffering terminal illnesses and adults with dementia, must now clear further hurdles in the legislative process before it becomes law. If passed, Belgium would become the first country in the world to remove the age limit, as the Netherlands already allow euthanasia but restrict it to 12year-olds and older.
