(New Delhi) in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu is a Pentecostal pastor who has spent two days in jail because he baptized a woman. Hindu extremists from the Rashtriya Sawayamsevak Sangh (RSS) say he pursuing forced conversions and are bringing the pastor to trial. Pastor Reuben of the End Time Church of Gundur christened a woman on July 18th on her specific request. Hindu extremists took him out to the police by Srinangam for display. The charge was "Pollution of the river Cauvery," in which the baptism took place, and "forced conversions". Police arrested the pastor and immediately detained him.
Sajan George, president of the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) protested publicly and spoke of "the persecution of Christians that seems to have become a legitimate practice in the state of Tamil Nadu."
In October 2002, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in Tamil Nadu enacted a law banning conversion, which should in principle prevent conversions of Hindus to Christianity. The law was repealed in May 2004 after the defeat of the BJP again. Nevertheless, Christians are under severe pressure as the recent incident shows.
Link to katholisches....
Although violence is never the answer, I side with the Hindus rather than the Pentecostolist "Christian". I have seen these people in action. They forment hatred for the Catholic Faith, and believe that their way is perfect. Their services are shere circus and a lunatic show.
ReplyDeleteThe Hindus are right. Pentecostolists deserve whatever abuse they get.
They go after Catholics as well.
