(SRN NEWS) –  Violence against Christians in India is on the rise.  The United Christian Forum is urging the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to launch a formal investigation of a problem that has spanned decades.  According to UCF data, attacks on Christians numbered about 130 in 2014.  This year there were almost 750 and the agency says many more probably went unreported.  Radical Hindus, emboldened by government inattention, are trying to rid India of all minority religious groups, starting with Christians.

The first of the new year has ushered in hundreds of new laws across the nation.  California will start enforcing a measure prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that require staff to notify parents if their children change their gender identification.  The legislation was a priority for Democratic lawmakers who wanted to halt such policies passed by several districts.  In Delaware a new statute will require the state employee health plan and Medicaid plans for lower-income residents to cover abortions with no deductible, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements.

A growing number of major corporations have opted to abandon the LGBT agenda lately and experts say many more will likely do so now that President Trump is returning to office.  Mr. Trump has vowed to take direct aim at so-called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs through executive orders and other policies that affect private companies, especially federal contractors.  But angry complaints from customers got the ball rolling over the past year, with companies such as Lowe’s, Harley-Davidson and Ford all quitting DEI before the election.

According to data from Infinity Concepts and Grey Matter Research, Evangelical Christians are tithing less to churches these days.  The report says, “The proportion of Evangelicals giving to a church fell from 74 percent to 61 percent over the last three years and the percentage who gave to a nonprofit or ministry outside of church fell from 58 percent to 50 percent.”  Meanwhile, the proportion of believers who didn’t give anything went up.  The economic hardships that have gripped the country over the past four years have affected everyone, depressing charitable giving across the board.
