It’s Thursday, August 31st, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslims kill more Christians Muslim terrorists kidnapped two Christians last Friday in Nigeria’s Kaduna State. This comes just days after Muslim gunmen killed a Baptist pastor in another part of the state. One local told Morning Star News, “The terrorists have so often made our area their target of attacks and abductions of our people. In fact, recently two Christians in our community were killed in similar attacks.” Pastor Joseph John Hayab with the Christian Association of Nigeria said, “It is very painful that gunmen move freely in broad daylight to execute their evil acts.” Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” English pastors: Our country is no longer Christian A new poll by The Times of London found most clerics in the Church of England do not believe the country is Christian anymore. Over 64% of priests said the United Kingdom could only be called a Christian country historically but not currently. Twenty-four percent said the country is still Christian. Also, a majority of clerics were in favor of faux same-sex marriage. The results are in line with 2021 census data that found Christian identification in England and Wales fell below 50% for the first time.
