(SRN NEWS) – A new survey reveals that about 90 percent of the 57,000 people who live in Greenland are Inuit and the vast majority of them belong to the Lutheran Church.  It’s a legacy that dates back 300 years to a Danish missionary who brought Christianity to the world’s largest island.  However, polls also indicate that a significant number of the people who attend church these days are not actually believers.  The Church of Greenland separated from Denmark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in 2009 and is funded by Greenland’s government. 

A new Columbia University disciplinary committee is investigating students who have criticized Israel. Known as the Office of Institutional Equity, it has launched a flurry of probes into students for sharing social media posts critical of Zionism and joining unauthorized campus protests.  The Trump administration threatens to pull millions of dollars in federal funding from Columbia and other schools for not doing more to prevent anti-Semitism on campus.  One student is under investigation for putting up “Wanted” posters bearing the likeness of Jewish trustees. 

Nicaragua has pulled out of the United Nations Human Rights Council after that body issued a scathing report on President Daniel Ortega’s decision to make himself dictator.  The U.N. accuses Ortega of abusing Christians and other people of faith as well as political dissidents.  The U.S. State Department adds that in Nicaragua “clergy and laity continue to experience government harassment, including slander, arbitrary investigations by government agencies, withholding of tax exemptions, and denial of religious services for political prisoners.” 

More trouble for Christians in India.  Nearly a dozen believers have been rounded up and arrested in Uttar Pradesh for preaching the gospel.  They have run afoul of the state’s Unlawful Religious Conversion act which is designed to keep Hindus from coming to Christ.  Ever since a Hindu nationalist party came to power in India over a decade ago, persecution of Christians has surged.  The government — particularly at the local level — is making it hard on believers, and their neighbors are apt to attack them and burn their churches at regular intervals.
