Christian Doctors Struggle To Keep Their Faith

A Christian doctor has expressed his thoughts about the politics of doctors and Christianity.

The Korean doctor, Yang Chan Kyu, explained why there is difficulty for those in the medical profession to have faith in God.

In an interview with Christian Telegraph, Kyu, also the official representative of the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) explained that doctors yearn to believe in Christ, despite of the strain of science theories which reject the idea.

Although it is a struggle, the doctor voiced that: “Doctors are people with their own problems. It is harder for them to believe in God, but it is possible.”

The WCDN attempts to prove healings by gathering information from medical histories, Dr Kyu, a member of Daejeon Manmin Church revealed.

He urged that fellow doctors should have “open minds and be good listeners” in order to try and keep hold of their beliefs.

Concern For Christians Under New Egyptian Constitution

Egypt’s new constitution may bring darker days for our Christian brothers and sisters.

The constitution, widely representative of Islamists in the country has sparked worry in Egypt.

With the Christian community making up around 10 per cent of the Egyptian population, believers of Christ are extremely undermined.

According to Patheos.com, votes from the Christian community were very limited for the two-stage referendum, with as low as 7 per cent of votes cast in some areas.

It was reported that intimidation from the Islamic community- which takes up most of the African country- hindered people of other faiths from voting freely. Christian cities such as Assiut flocked with around 50,000 Egyptians supporting the constitution.

Now, with the approval of the pro-Islamic constitution, concern is rapidly growing for the rights and welfare for minority groups.
