THE REFORMATION ROLLS ON:
Iran's House Churches Are Not Illegal, Says Supreme Court Justice (JAYSON CASPER|, DECEMBER 3, 2021, Christianity Today)
Currently at least 20 Christians are jailed in Iran because their faith was deemed a threat to the Islamic republic's national security. Of the more than 100 Iranian believers imprisoned since 2012, all have faced similar charges.But a recent decision by a Supreme Court justice gives hope to them all."Merely preaching Christianity ... through family gatherings [house churches] is not a manifestation of gathering and collusion to disrupt the security of the country, whether internally or externally," stated the judge."The promotion of Christianity and the formation of a house church is not criminalized in law."
