Indian schools shut down to protest attacks on Christians

Churches in India are to close about 30 000 of their educational institutions across the country on 29 August to protest against continuing attacks by mobs of Hindus in the country's eastern state of Orissa and which Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has told bishops, is a "national shame", reports Ecumenical News International.

"We cannot remain spectators to what is happening in Orissa," said Bishop Dinesh Kumar Sahu, general secretary of the National Council of Churches in India, a grouping of 30 Orthodox and Protestant churches. He told Ecumenical News International on 28 August that the council had sent its appeal for the closure of Christian schools and colleges across the country to member churches.
