Why are persecuted Christians not able to gain refugee status in the United States? News reports indicate that since 2011 less than three percent of the 2,184 Syrian refugees allowed into the country were Christian. And according to State Department figures, 97 percent of the refugees resettled in 2015 are Muslim.

Where are the Christian refugees?
We’ll discuss this issue this week with Faith McDonnell
of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. Faith writes and speaks on the
subject of the persecuted church (here's a link to some of her writings) and is the author of the 2007 book Girl Soldier: A Story of Hope for NorthernUganda’s Children. She is a member of the Anglican Church of the Apostles
and serves on the church’s international missions committee and as a board
member for several human rights organizations.
