Church In Chains

An Irish Voice for Persecuted Christians (CHY 23070) on behalf of persecuted Christians. Church in Chains believes in religious freedom for all.

Church in Chains is an independent Irish charity that encourages prayer and action in support of persecuted Christians worldwide. Church in Chains publishes the latest news in a quarterly magazine, a monthly news summary and a website (www.churchinchains.ie ). Church in Chains supports a network of prayer groups around Ireland and also encourages advocacy (by means o

f letters, petitions, vigils, meetings with Ambassadors etc.) Church in Chains works with several international partners to channel aid to families of prisoners. It also provides Bibles, Christian literature and assistance to Christians who are in poor circumstances because of their faith. Church in Chains organises an annual conference where visiting speakers tell of their personal experiences of persecution. Church in Chains was formerly known as CHRISTIAN CONCERN FOR FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE. Its work began in the 1970’s by raising awareness of the persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union.
