PINDROP is putting the "Christ" back in Christmas with coverage of three Christian news stories worldwide. First, Diego takes us to the Holy Land where Christians in Gaza are spending the season in the crossfire of the Israel-Hamas War and Bethlehem, the city of Jesus' birth, has largely canceled public Christmas celebrations. Next, Nick explores a major schism in Ukraine's orthodox churches and what they mean for the ongoing war with Russia. Finally, A.J. delves into protestants in China and how they practice their faith under a hostile Communist Party.
