Churches struggled through many contentious issues in 2018, some old, some new.

Abroad, Christians encountered genocide in Nigeria and a crackdown on religious freedom in China. Missionaries and political prisoners also topped headlines. In the U.S., churches dealt with pastor suicides, sex scandals and disagreements over same-sex attraction. In politics, Christians were at the center of national debates over gay wedding cakes, Supreme Court appointments and President Donald Trump.
