This week’s briefing surfaces a striking cross-tradition convergence: the migration of missionary outreach into engineered “third spaces.” Christian evangelism in VRChat reached national attention (NPR), while Yad L’Achim exposed a Christian café network in Israel using the very same “third-space” logic — both drawing the identical charge of infiltrating a “neutral” space. India supplies the hard-law counterpoint, as the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India asks that “proselytization” be struck from the proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.
