I know we have personally experienced a lot of people who don't understand what is legal and what isn't.
"The killing of a Catholic priest in Turkey should focus attention on the restraints imposed on Christians living in that country, an Irish Anglican cleric stationed in Istanbul argues."
"Even the possession of Christian literature is regarded as "missionary activity," which is unacceptable in Turkey, the Anglican priest notes. He adds: "Many conscientiousChristians, simply by reason of their baptismal faith, would be seen as "missionary" in the Turkish understanding of the word."
Canon Sherwood reports:
"The idea that Christian literature in Turkish, distributed by faithful Christians, is suspiciously criminal, or at least intellectually unacceptable, prevails among senior army officers, university professors, Islamicist politicians, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and many others."
