IN ODIUM FIDEI
Established AD MMXXI
The purpose of In Odium Fidei is to collect reports of events and acts perpetrated globally against individuals, groups, objects, buildings and locations specifically and uniquely because of their belief in, representation of, or connection to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
That this is the destiny of all who live by the Word has been known from the beginning, since everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
