Suicide Bombers at Two Pakistani Churches

I felt like sharing this article simply becasue of the first thoughts I had as soon as I began reading it. The headlines read: Suicide Bombers Target Sunday Services At 2 Pakistani Churches. The article by Krishnadev Calamur begins as follows:

"At least 14 people are dead and 70 wounded after blasts targeted two churches in Lahore, Pakistan, during Sunday services.

The churches, one Catholic and the other Protestant, are located near each other in the predominantly Christian Youhanabad area of Lahore (npr.org)."


My initial thoughts were that, seemingly, the evil doers see Christians in a more ecumenical way than we see ourselves. Obviously, the bombers did not differentiate between Catholic and Protestant in their mission. I just wanted to share this as food for thought. Please, pray for both the victims and the ones who inflict harm as well that they may one day convert, and become followers of Christ. Follow the link below for the full article, thanks and blessings!
