Description
Faith, politics and baseball... Three seemingly unrelated areas, but my colleague, Ed Henry explores all three in his new book 42 faith: The Rest of the Jackie Robinson Story
You've seen Ed often on air, expertly dissecting all the goings on in Washington, D.C., and beyond in the world of politics. But in his book he looks a particular period of baseball history, when the color barrier was broken Major League Baseball by a young African American, now legend, Jackie Robinson. Ed explores not only Jackie Robinson's faith journey, but that of Branch Rickey, the Dodger's General Manager who signed Robinson... And brought him up from the minors to play first base on Ebbets Field.

Bishop Joseph D'Souza: the Global Concern of Religious Persecution: India is one of the most religiously diverse countries in the world. Although it is majority Hindu, it has some 200 million Muslims, as well as Sikhs, Jews, and a native Christian population dating back 2000 years. In fact, Christianity in India has deeper roots than in America. Which is why it is an extremely disturbing fact to Bishop Joseph D'Souza of Good Shepherd church that his country has just entered the top ten list of nations where Christians are most persecuted. He blames a small band of extremist Hindus, who've painted Christians as an enemy of the state and have marketed the lie that Christians are involved in forced conversions. As President Trump this week sounded the alarm at the United Nations for countries to rally together in a shared value of religious freedom, Bishop D'Souza has the detailed forensics of why religious persecution has grown, and continues to be a threat to global peace. by Lighthouse Faith
