California, USA Joint Efforts to Promote Worldwide Freedom of Belief at Freedom of Religion Seminar

In spite of the fact that freedom of religion is a universal value, there are people in some countries and regions who not only lack this freedom and right, but even continue to suffer from persecution as well as unjust prosecution or imprisonment. February 15, 2018, a seminar with the theme of “Religious Liberty as a Global Problem” was convened at the University Club of the University of Southern California. The purpose of this event was to further mutual understanding between different religious groups and jointly promote freedom of religion. In attendance were well-known religion experts, religious studies professors, as well as delegates of various religious groups from countries such as the USA, Italy, France, and Mexico, totaling over 20 participants. Christians from The Church of Almighty God were also invited to participate.

Hong Kong’s Ta Kung Pao Attacks and Defames The Church of Almighty God—What Does This Portend?

Hong Kong’s Ta Kung Pao Attacks and Defames The Church of Almighty God—What Does This Portend?

November 2017, a series of incendiary reports came out of Hong Kong. Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, both pro-CCP leftist newspapers, published a media onslaught of 17 articles in a frenzied attempt to discredit The Church of Almighty God, a legally registered religious entity in Hong Kong. This kind of media attention occurring in mainland China under the dictatorship of the CCP would not be cause for comment. However, this occurred within the democracy of Hong Kong, supposedly under “one country, two systems.” This is truly cause for concern. The freedom of religion is a basic human right protected by international human rights conventions. All democracies around the world acknowledge the freedom of religion, and all citizens in democratic nations strongly uphold this freedom, but this occurrence in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region does not bode well. If the Hong Kong branch of The Church of Almighty God also suffers the CCP’s persecution, will Hong Kong’s other religious groups be able to avoid this fate? How far do freedom and democracy really go in Hong Kong?

Do Heeyoun: Guard Against CCP Blaming The Church of Almighty God for Invented Incidents of Extremism

The Chinese Communist government has long been known for its suppression and persecution of religious beliefs. Recently, the CCP has not hesitated in creating incidents abroad to frame and discredit The Church of Almighty God. Do Heeyoun, a human rights activist in South Korea, comments on this: “Malicious smearing is a common communist tactic. It’s what the Chinese Communist Party relies on to survive. It’s one of their ways of doing things.” He also emphasizes that the CCP is very likely to fabricate more incidents with more extreme measures in order to suppress and persecute The Church of Almighty God, thereby sowing public distrust of the church and impeding the asylum applications of the church’s Christians. This is a matter of urgency that needs to be dealt with.
