Russell Moore, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, is trying to educate Christians about the cultural and demographic genocide that China is perpetrating against its Muslim population.
Why it matters: “If no one in the world is going to notice that someone is gone, then the CCP can do whatever it wants,” says Moore.
What’s happening: In addition to a webinar with Uighur activists he held last week on the issue, Moore has written about repression of the Uighurs for the Wall Street Journal, has tweeted frequently about it and is working with U.S. officials on the issue.
His immediate goal is simply to spread awareness among Christians, Moore told Axios in an interview.
