"Persecution watchdog Open Doors is to hold its first ever “Great Big Tea Party” this summer in an effort to raise awareness in the United Kingdom of the rising persecution against Christians in the world’s great tea-producing nations."
"The Tea for Thought booklet also highlights the volatile situation for Christians in Turkey, which came to international attention in April when Muslim extremists slit the throats of three Protestant Christian Bible workers in a Christian publishing house in the south east province of Malatya.
“This tragic incident is the latest example of a worsening trend of persecution against Christians in Turkey, that we cannot ignore any longer,” said Eddie Lyle, CEO of Open Doors UK & Ireland.
"We must ask ourselves the question, ‘What is it that causes young men to act with such violence and hate towards innocent people, living simply and going about their daily work?’”
He added, “The circumstances which generated such heinous crimes can not be allowed to exist, so that Christians in all countries are free from the fear of persecution and attack.”
