what is safety?

Christians around the world are one body. All of my individualistic tendencies want to run away from that fact. We should rejoice when others are rejoicing, we should mourn when others are mourning--all across the globe. When we read articles like this we should mourn. we live in a location on this fallen earth that allows us to crack open our Bibles at a coffee shops and walk into church buildings without any fear that one of our fellow worshipper's head is lying on the front steps because of common persecution. "Safety" must have a different meaning to these brothers and sisters in Christ. Their prayers must be different than mine in the morning. May we take the uncomfortable path towards empathy with these brothers and sisters.
