Orissa Violence





>
> Hallo Freinds

> Greetings from Fr. Jose Nazhianpara. How are you all doing
> there?

> I am attaching a powerpoint presentation about the violence
> in Orissa. It is soul shaking and I am listening to their
> stories daily. Burning people alive, cutting their bodies
> into pieces, stabbing pregnant women and rupturing their
> uterus with a single stroke, raping a nun, brutally beating
> and haf naked parading of priests are but a few of the
> reported brutalities. How many Christians will survive this
> manslaughter and endure in their faith is a big question. I
> am sure that you all would be with us in this crucial time.

> There are hundreds of refugees in our area who did not want
> to leave their christian faith. Our task now is to shelter
> them, give them daily food, and provide them with enough
> medication. Most of the fathers and sisters have left the
> place and have taken shelter either in Kerala, Andhra or in
> our side. All the churches and convents are either burnt or
> destroyed and the rioters have threatend to kill all the
> fathers and sisters. If you could be a part of the suffering
> Christians and want to help, we would be very willing to
> accept.

> Please remeber us in your prayers.

> With love

> Fr. Jose Nazhianpara
