This site Act Now is an ecumenical work of three Dioceses in support of their brother and sister Christians suffering persecution in the Middle East and other parts of the world.
The goal is straight forward: to encourage each of our local parishes and communities to do something, and not nothing, in support of those in their Christian family who are persecuted.
While the particular focus of this website is 'our own', our Christian kin-through-baptism, our concern naturally reaches out to all who suffer, whatever their religion or culture.
We won't use lots of words. Our goal is to give you tools - brief items to assist you in bringing this issue before your community on a regular basis. The idea is that even the busiest pastor, even the least resourced parish, can speedily find here information, prayers, links, ideas to be readily fed into their communication channels.
The tools are simple. So it's easy to get started. Browse the site, select an item, and don't wait... Act now.
