Another state in India passed anti-conversion law

India’s state of Maharashtra became the 13th in the country to enact an “anti-conversion” law last week. It’s the country’s second-most populous state.

This has prompted thousands of churches in the area to have worshippers sign a form. The form simply says the person is attending freely and not under coercion. 

India’s “anti-conversion” laws are often used to target Christians. Hindu nationalists have attacked churches in Maharashtra 11 times in the last six months.

India is ranked 12th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most dangerous places to be a Christian. 

In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet, because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Vinay Kwatra, the Indian Ambassador to America, asking that he urge his government not to pass these anti-conversion laws which target Christians. Address it to the Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You’ll find the correct spelling of the ambassador’s name and the address in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

Australia’s new assisted suicide law

ABC News Australia reports Australia’s Northern Territory passed a bill legalizing assisted suicide last week.

The territory was the first in the world to legalize voluntary euthanasia in the 1990s. Australia’s federal government overturned the law within a couple years. But in 2022, the government reversed its decision, allowing the territory to legalize assisted suicide once again. 

Now, all states and territories in Australia allow for this form of killing. Over 7,200 people have died this way in the country since 2019.
