By Lisa Navarrette, ICC Fellow When persecution is discussed, it is usually framed in images of violence: burned churches, imprisoned pastors, mobs chanting in the streets. These images are real, and they matter. But for millions of Christians around the world, persecution is not loud or dramatic. It is quiet. It happens in hiring offices, classrooms, banks, markets, and aid lines. It happens when a resume is quietly rejected, when a business license is never approved, when a family is denied food assistance, or when a shop loses all its customers overnight.
