With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with a point.

Around 1700 years ago, Armenia became the very first nation in history to adopt Christianity

as the official religion of the state.

That long history is now disappearing, photo-recently posted by the Christian Emergency Alliance

recorded, the last clergy at an ancient monastery forced to flee from the Azeri advances, which

are often accompanied by desecrations of Christian sites by Muslim soldiers.

In ancient times, Armenians endured a precarious existence with Rome to its west and Persia

to its east.

Today, U.S. Allied Turkey backs the Azeri, while Moscow has been an unreliable protector

of Armenia.

Whatever the cause of this current strife in ancient Christian society sits on the edge

of destruction.

That means that our prayers and our political actions cannot be constrained only by geopolitics.

We have to pray to God for these brothers and sisters and appeal to our political representatives

for their relief.
