A group formed to help persecuted Christians is trying a new approach, working with Muslim civil society groups to better their conditions and increase cooperation.
Amid the rising persecution of Christians worldwide, the Philos Project was created with the intent of assisting in a way outside of the typical approach, which is to evacuate Christian groups under threat. Instead of evacuating Christians from their native communities, often where they’ve lived since the centuries immediately following the birth of Christ, Philos aims to help facilitate the creation of conditions that will allow them to stay.
The model of the organization is to approach Muslim civil society groups, asking for cooperation, while stressing that, “this is not a weapon through which to cudgel them, or scold them… This is an effort to make Christian populations sustainable,” he said. The goal is to “better integrate [Christians] into [Muslim] societies, for not only [the Christians’] benefit but for their societies as well.
The idea was presented to him during a trip to Egypt in 2019. While passing through Minya, where 13 of those murdered came from, Nicholson asked his guide if he would be able to meet with some of the family members of those killed. His guide agreed and made the arrangements for him to meet with some of the family members in the Church of the Martyrs of Faith and Homeland, built to commemorate the martyrs, soon after.
