Don't Repay Scourge with "Purge"

There's a reminder that Christ did not teach us to exact vengeance for religious persecution.

The leader of the New Zealand Christian Network has weighed in on discussion of Brian Tamaki's "tit for tat" social media post that further inflamed debate around immigration a month after MP Shane Jones' "butter chicken tsunami" jibe.

Rev. Dr Stuart Lange says while there may be concerns about trade partners with poor human rights records, trade and migration also provide an opportunity for evangelisation. And with 40% of New Zealand church attendees born overseas, is immigration actually contributing to New Zealand's church revival, rather than diluting our Christian heritage?
