It's Wednesday, April 10th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Violence against Christians up 45% in India The Evangelical Fellowship of India released a report on the persecution of Christians in the country. Last year, Christians faced over 600 incidents of violence in India. That's up 45% from 2022. Incredibly, nearly half of the incidents – 275 to be precise -- occurred in India's state of Uttar Pradesh. The report noted, “The state also leads in arrests of pastors and believers, often on allegations of forced conversions, despite lacking substantial evidence.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in India, the 11th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Scotland's proposed conversion therapy ban The Christian Institute is poised to challenge Scotland's proposed conversion therapy ban if it violates religious freedom. The proposal would crack down on attempts to change someone's so-called sexual orientation or gender identity. The Christian Institute warns the proposal is vague and could be used against pastors and parents. The organization's public affairs officer, Joanna Cook, warned, “Those campaigning for a conversion practices law … want a new speech crime, a thought crime. And, I'm afraid, the Scottish government's proposals give them that.” Church of England invests $10 million in youth outreach The Church of England announced last month that it is investing 8.5 million pounds in youth programs. That's over $10 million U.S. dollars. This comes as the Church of England is losing congregants, especially among children. Adult attendance was down 23% in 2022 compared with 2019. The number of children attending was down 28% over the same period. The decline comes as many in the Church of England are supporting sexually perverted lifestyles. Jonathan Pryke, senior minister at Jesmond Parish Church, told Evangelical Focus, “In general, where churches are growing, they have a robust view of Biblical authority and teach accordingly, with a sense of urgency about the Gospel message.” 2 Timothy 4:2-3 says, “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but, having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions.” Declining Southern Baptist membership In the United States, the Southern Baptist Convention reports declining membership. Lifeway Research released analysis on the denomination last week. Lifeway noted, “Among the 50,423 active congregations in the Southern Baptist Convention in 2021, 2% disbanded or closed and 0.5% left or were disaffiliated from the Convention by the time the 2022 data was compiled.” The Southern Baptist Convention lost over 1,200 congregations in 2022. It lost over 1,000 congregations in 2021 and 2020 as well. In most cases, the churches were disbanded or closed. Arizona Supreme Court upholds 1864 abortion ban Yesterday, Arizona's Supreme Court ruled in favor of the state's 1864 ban on abortion. The law prohibits nearly all abortions. The U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision of 1973 had blocked the law. The more recent Dobbs ruling overturned Roe, making way for Arizona's abortion ban to go back into effect. However, Planned Parenthood continued to challenge the law. After yesterday's ruling, the ban on abortion is back in force. Jake Warner with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “We celebrate the Arizona Supreme Court's decision that allows the state's pro-life law to again protect the lives of countless, innocent unborn children.” Chick-fil-A made $20 billion in 2023 Nation's Restaurant News reports Chick-fil-A made over $20 billion in sales last year, up 14% from 2022. Since 2018, the fast-food chain has doubled its sales volume. Its closest competitor was Popeyes which grew 10% last year. Chick-fil-A continues its growth while still being closed on Sundays as it honors the Fourth Commandment. The restaurant's website says, “Having worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, [founder Truett Cathy] saw the importance of closing on Sundays so that he and his employees could set aside one day to rest, enjoy time with their families and loved ones or worship if they choose — a practice we uphold today.” Total solar eclipse from Mexico to Canada And finally, millions of Americans turned out to view a total solar eclipse on Monday. The path of totality stretched from Mazatlán, Mexico to Newfoundland in Canada. The path covered 15 states in the U.S. from Texas to Maine. Check out some awesome total eclipse photos through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. The last time the U.S. experienced a total solar eclipse was 2017. The next one won't happen until 2044. Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.” Close And that's The World View in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, April 10th in the year of our Lord 2024.

The Solomon Islands – China security pact has sent shockwaves across the Western world, with analysts from Australia to the United States arguing that the deal represents a fundamental shift in geopolitical dynamics in Australia's immediate region. But what does the agreement mean for Solomon Islands and the Pacific? What impact will it have on Australia's interests in Solomon Islands? And what does it signal for the future of geopolitical competition in the Pacific region? Jonathan Pryke, Director of the Lowy Institute's Pacific Islands Program, chaired this discussion between three experts on the issue.

Mr Wong has also served in the portfolios of Police and Civil Aviation after being elected to the East New Britain seat of Gazelle Open in 2017.

In this episode we turn to a part of the world we haven’t discussed before — the Pacific Islands. Stretching over a vast area covering some 15% of the earth’s surface, the region is home to diverse countries and cultures, from Papua New Guinea in the West to the Cook Islands in the east, taking in countries such as Fiji and the Solomon Islands, along with smaller nations such as Nauru and Palau. Problems, though, are stacking up. The COVID-19 pandemic is devastating the region’s economy. Meanwhile climate change has become a major security threat for the often low-lying Pacific Islands. What’s more the region has become yet another area of strategic rivalry between China, and the US and other Western nations — primarily Australia.Facing these strains, the unity of the Pacific Islands has started to unravel. Five member countries of the Pacific Islands Forum have recently quit the organisation in a dispute over who should take over as its Secretary General. To discuss these and other issues we are first joined by Samoan journalist and commentator Lagipoiva Cherelle Jackson. Later we get perspectives from David Ward, the UK’s high commissioner to Samoa, who previously held a similar post in the Solomon Islands; and Jonathan Pryke, director of the Pacific Islands program at the Lowy Institute in Sydney and a long time researcher on the region.
What are the key issues likely to dominate Australia’s international agenda in 2021? China's economic statecraft, regional friction in the Pacific, the climate-change agenda, and how the world recovers economically from the coronavirus pandemic are covered in this wide-ranging panel discussion between Lowy Institute experts. This event was hosted by the Lowy Institute at our headquarters at 31 Bligh St in Sydney on Tuesday 23 February 2021. - Event Speakers - Alex Oliver is the Director of Research at the Lowy Institute, where she is responsible for the Institute's team of experts and directs the research program. Until 2018, she directed the Lowy Institute's program on diplomacy and public opinion, including the annual Lowy Institute Poll. Roland Rajah is the Lead Economist and Director of the International Economics Program at the Lowy Institute. Before joining the Lowy Institute Roland was a Senior Economist and Country Manager at the Asian Development Bank, where he worked on macro-fiscal policy, economic growth, and development issues in the Pacific region. Jonathan Pryke is Director of the Lowy Institute’s Pacific Islands Program. Jonathan joined the Lowy Institute in 2015 from the Development Policy Centre at the Australian National University where he was a researcher, editor of the Development Policy Blog and a co-convener of the Australasian Aid Conference. Peter Cai returns to the Lowy Institute in 2021 as director of a new project on Australia-China relations. Peter led the Institute’s China work in 2016, and is the author of the 2017 Lowy Institute Analysis Understanding China’s Belt And Road Initiative, which has become one of the world’s most consulted and popular pieces of research on the BRI.

Kaldor Centre's Director, Professor Jane McAdam, and Director of the Lowy Institute's Pacific Islands Program, Jonathan Pryke, discuss their latest policy brief with Lauren Martin. Their report focuses on the role of mobility as a release valve for Pacific Islanders at risk of displacement in the context of disasters and climate change. It demonstrates why Australia should proactively develop laws and policies that enable people in the Pacific region to move out of harm’s way, thereby harnessing migration as a climate change adaptation strategy in its own right.
