Pakistan persecution, a return to morals in University, Christians targeted on Facebook and death by powerpoint are all in our weekly roundup of the Top 5 breaking news links.

1. The deliberate targeting and massacre of Christians in Eastern Pakistan has taken a cruel twist, with authorities issuing an arrest warrant for the Bishop of Faisalabad and 128 other Christians, charging them with conspiracy! It’s believed to be in retaliation for their complaints of police incompetence in the wake of the attacks. See the upcoming Southern Cross newspaper for a more detailed report on the Pakistan issue and reaction from Australia. Elsewhere on the subcontinent, the Christian Post is reporting that a year after the worst anti-Christian violence in India's democratic history, more than 4,000 Christians are reportedly still stuck in squalid refugee camps, too scared to return to their villages.

2. This is not a bombshell to Christians, but good to see the Macquarie Uni chief decrying that “Universities are value-free zones” Mac’s vice-chancellor, Steven Schwartz, said he wanted a return to education’s ‘‘ancient roots’’ - building the ethical and moral character of its students. In a panel discussion, the Headmaster of Kings, Dr Tim Hawkes, described such talk as ‘‘music to his ears’’ and a discussion society needs to have. Amen. Let’s see how far this goes.

3. The case of the British street preacher I mentioned last week, where the man was warned by police for reading aloud bits of the Bible has gone further. This week he was actually arrested. Perhaps it is not a strategy I would adopt, but as Andy Banton, from the Open Air Mission, told Religious Intelligence: “A person who goes into a court of law swears an oath on the Bible, so for people to be arrested for quoting it seems ludicrous."

4. A prominent hacker group which seems to think it is clever to deface websites has targeted Christians on Facebook. Rather than shaking our heads, let’s pray for the hackers. Pray that they would turn to Him and use their skills for His glory.

5, A bonus this week. A story that normally falls into the domain of my colleague Steve Kryger (who by the way has an interesting blog this week sharing 30 intriguing websites). The BBC are marking 25 years of powerpoint with a series of stories, both good and bad. Anyone who stands next to a screen and points should check out ‘The problem with Powerpoint.’
