Phillip Buck, formerly of North Korea, Wins 2007 Civil Courage Prize for Help to Fleeing Refugees Aided Thousands to Escape North Korea; Was Imprisoned by Chinese for 15 Months The Rev. Phillip Jun Buck, who was born in North Korea in 1941, has been selected as the winner of the 2007 Civil Courage Prize of The Train Foundation. He will be awarded the Prize of $50,000 at a ceremony to be held October 16 in New York. His life has been marked by tireless efforts to help refugees from North Korea to escape that country, many through China, which, contrary to international law,tracks down and repatriates refugees. Since Pyong Yang deems it a crime to leave the country,the refugees returned by China are treated as criminals, and are subject to imprisonment in a gulag or worse. China persecutes those who aid refugees, as well. Rev. Buck himself was arrested in Yanji, China in May 2005, while aiding refugees, and spent 15 months in prison there.Thanks to the U.S. Embassy,his case was kept before the Chinese authorities and he was released in August 2006, though he suffered from malnutrition, intense interrogation and sleep deprivation.

    Lausanne World Pulse, P.O. Box 794, Wheaton, Illinois, USA, 60187 Email: [email protected] A free, monthly online publication that provides you with evangelism and mission news and information. November 2008 PUBLISHER’S MEMO Persecution of the Church: Hot, Warm, Temperate By Lon Allison Hot Persecution For the last several weeks I have been reading alarming reports from Orissa, India, and now from northern Iraq. Canon Andrew White, an Anglican pastor in Baghdad, sent out a prayer alert with the title: “I didn’t think it could be worse, but it is.” He reports that Christians are being killed and are fleeing Mosul, ancient Nivevah. One report said that as Al Qaeda is being forced from Baghdad, they are moving north with increased anger and violence, which is being directed at Christians. The Chaldean Christian archbishop has been killed. My prayers surround these Indian and Arab brethren. This is the hardest kind of persecution. It is a severity many Christians don’t experience and consider with terror-filled thoughts. I call this persecution severe or “hot.” History tells us that this severe persecution makes some believers more committed. Indeed, as Tertullian has written, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.” But it is also true that many leave the faith or minimize their devotion to be safe. Warm Persecution A second form of persecution against Christ’s people occurs in nations and regions where governments are aligned with religions—most often, Islamic and Hindu-dominated cultures. It is also possible for governments to repress Christian faith, as evidenced this past summer in China.
