EU Digital Law Sparks Global Free Speech Fears
Faith Facts
- The Digital Services Act (DSA) may threaten free speech worldwide, Christians warn.
- Alliance Defending Freedom’s Lorcán Price testified in the US Congress about its global implications.
- Concerns include tech companies enforcing censorship beyond Europe to comply with the DSA.
The DSA could pressure American tech companies to limit speech globally, according to legal experts defending freedom of expression. Such measures risk undermining Biblical values regarding truth and the importance of a free, open dialogue.
Lorcán Price testified that the legislation is not meant to protect people, but to control which voices are heard, suppressing honest debate and dissent as valued in Christian and American traditions.
“What is happening in Europe is as Vice President Vance said in Munich, a ‘serious retreat from a fundamental value’ – free speech,” said Price.
He explained this kind of censorship stems from authorities wanting to silence criticism and maintain control, which runs contrary to religious teachings on the dignity and liberty of every individual before God.
Reform UK’s Nigel Farage described real-world consequences in Britain, highlighting the recent arrest of a writer for online posts, as a warning to Americans about the dangers of losing their freedoms.
“This could happen to any American. You will be doing us a favour if you said to the UK Government, ‘you simply got this wrong, at what point did you become North Korea,'” said Farage.
Standing up for free expression is essential to preserving the Christian principles of truth and liberty. Faith communities are called to pray for leaders to uphold these timeless values and to remain vigilant in defense of freedom.

African Churches Outpace Leader Training – Faithful Educators Seek God’s Guidance in Revival Potential
Faith Facts
- The Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA) celebrates its 50th anniversary in Bishoftu, Ethiopia, under the theme “Future Ready, Mission Faithful.”
- Rapid church growth across Africa outpaces theological training, leaving many pastors without formal education.
- ACTEA promotes accreditation, modular programs, online learning, and church partnerships to equip biblically grounded leaders.
The General Assembly unites educators from 31 countries, including Association of Evangelicals in Africa leaders, to address cultural shifts, technology, and ministry demands.
This milestone honors ACTEA’s 1976 founding to ensure evangelical institutions uphold high standards amid continent-wide revival.
“Church growth in Africa has been phenomenal, but theological education has not grown at the same pace,” Tarus said.
“The challenge is how to train enough leaders while maintaining strong theological standards.”
“The church in Africa needs leaders who are both spiritually grounded and theologically equipped,” he said.
Join in prayer for ACTEA’s vision to fortify Africa’s church with Scripture-faithful pastors advancing God’s kingdom.
