サマリー
あらすじ・解説
We are starting a 4 part series to launch us into our 100th episode. We will be discussing in detail the experience that our dad, Harold Ledda, went through in Saudi Arabia when he started an underground church.
In the first episode of this series, we start with a little bit of background into Saudi Arabia’s culture, religion, and laws. Saudi Arabia was and still remains a Muslim state. The country follows Sharia law and starting or propagating another religion besides Islam is against the law. We talk in detail about what types of repercussions happen to those who are caught practicing a non-Muslim religion. The punishment is severe and they take this crime very seriously. We also talk about what Saudi Arabia looks like now and any steps they have taken to get closer to religious freedom.
