Canals in Amsterdam overflow with boats crammed with orange-clad merrymakers. Music fills streets festooned with orange flags. Children sell old toys and homemade cakes. The old story of the Dutch triumph of freedom over Spanish imperial tyranny carries contemporary relevance.

“This is a deliberate attack on people of faith, those who gathered peacefully to pray”, the embassy of Ukraine in the U.S. said in a public statement.

Corrie Ten Boom and her sister Betsie demonstrated that the ability to love and forgive when surrounded by hatred is a form of freedom no tyrant can touch. For the sisters, inner freedom became a form of spiritual resistance.

Suspended in the vast blackness, our planet appeared not as a battleground of competing powers, but as a delicate, radiant sphere—fragile yet hospitable and astonishingly alive. 

For the first time since 1998, the proportion of people who do not attend religious services outnumbers those who attend occasionally.

The film explores an age-old human ability: that of constructing structures of power underpinned by carefully crafted narratives.

The law is one of several that Vladimir Putin’s regime has introduced to intimidate religious minorities. Missionary activities are forbidden for other groups as well, including evangelical Christians.

Ukraine is becoming a laboratory of ethics for the global church. Historian Yaroslav Hrytsak says absolute pacifism can become morally irresponsible in the face of violent tyranny.

The European Evangelical Alliance invites believers throughout Europe to remain faithful in intercession until peace, justice, and restoration are fully realized.

The program Live On explores what it means to continue living when a son, brother, husband, or loved one does not return home. Where can people find the strength to go on after such loss, or to help others carry their pain?

“If we don’t register, they’ll come to every service and stop it”, says the pastor of one of the churches after being interrogated by Russian police in the occupied Luhansk region.

Appeasement only emboldens the aggressor. Can a peace plan that rewards territorial conquest—achieved through invasion, atrocities, mass deportations, and systematic destruction—ever constitute genuine peace?
