Anglican Orthodox Church
From Bishop John Nakka of our Church Family
in South India. We must know, but by the grace of God, we could, and may,
experience the same in our own land:
Dear ALL,
I am so painfully writing
this mail as we are very very suffering a lot politically and also due to separation of our State. No
power for around 10 to 12 hours in the cities and more than 12 hours in the villages. No enough drinking
water, very hot summer.... Politically we are now really afraid as the
sectarian hindu religious background parties took over the Union and State
Governments. We are a religious minority in India and now our hearts started
beating fast and do not know what happened for us in the near future. WE ARE REALLY UNFORTUNATE. We may
live like a second grade citizens and we need to face a very hard persecution
as was the Hebrews in Egypt. The persecution was already started and around 05
issues were reported for abuse, warnings and stopping the conventions etc.,
during this week alone i.e., just within a week after Mr.Modi took over the
charge.
PLEASE PRAY
FOR CHRISTIANS IN INDIA.
yours
fraternally in Christ,
+John.

Saint Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Orthodox
Church is under a lot of stress.
We all are, but they need even more prayer. Rev Roger Jessup, their wonderful minister, is pressed by
the duties of a primary care giver, in addition to all the worries of this
world. They have one of their
family’s primary breadwinners who will be soon unemployed, absent His
intervention. As Rev Roger said so
eloquently, "We must pray for those who mean us harm and deprive us of our
property are our enemies: Our LORD has so commanded us." We must pray they will see light and cleave
to it while turning their backs on the Prince of this World. Equally important, we must pray that
the Lord will raise up a political leader from among us as He has done in the
past. Pray also for trust in God
for each member of the parish and for them to find economic relief.

protection for all persecuted Christians and those around them.
