Dear JYs I wonder what is happening...... all of a sudden......... we read abt that for 2 years there were 67 incidents against the Church in Gujarat. Then we all know about the black monday which was on 13th of this month........... in protest against the attack on the Priest in Thana, Mumbai. It seems even though the priest was a body builder he didnt retaliate against the Mob. This is the latest news and it didnt even come in the papers. I found it in ... off all the places ..... The Hindu newspaper site. The latest attack in Mumbai is at Dharavi, the biggest slums in whole Asia. Anyways i guess we have to continue our prayers unceasingly especially for our christian bretheren out there, who get affected by such incidents and may suffer an attack on their faith urs in faith Jason ==================== Priest, son manhandled (Source : Hindu) AHMEDABAD, AUG. 16. The All-India Christian Council has claimed that a priest and his son were beaten up by some Hindu fundamentalists in Pipalwada village in Vyara taluka of south Gujarat. In a letter to the Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, the Christian council's executive committee member, Mr. Samson Christian, also demanded action against the policemen concerned who allegedly refused to register complaints by the priest. Mr. Christian claimed that Mr. Nathaniel Logoraj, a social worker and priest from the Friends Missionary Prayer Band (FMPB), and his son were beaten up by the miscreants on August 13 when they were going on a motorcycle in the neighbouring Jhavda village. Some people in a Hindu religious procession who were crossing threw coloured water and mud at them. On their way back home, the same processionists blocked their way and beat them up. They escaped and took refuge in a nearby girl's hostel. A Christian nun, Sr. Mary Stella, and another person, Mr. Sanjivbhai, who had come to their rescue were also beaten up. >>>>Our Mumbai Special Correspondent writes: Some miscreants disrupted a Christian Independence Day service at Dharavi in Mumbai on Wednesday. Police sources said that the trouble-makers broke the chairs at the venue which was not a church. Three persons sustained minor injuries. The Dharavi police have registered a complaint. ==================================== He who cannot forgive others Destroys the bridge over which He himself must pass. ********************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
