Australian churches 'curry' support to halt attacks on Indians

Church leaders have taken to eating curry meals to support campaigns to overcome violence and racism against Indian students living in Australia, reports Ecumenical News International.

"Vindaloo against Violence" was a recent event where Australians were invited to have a curry lunch or dinner on 24 February as an act of appreciation and peace between local citizens and the Indian student community.

The Rev. Alistair Macrae, leader of Australia's largest Protestant Church, the Uniting Church in Australia, had urged church people, "to head out for a curry … to the local Indian restaurant and order a vindaloo or a curry and while giving thanks for the food, pray for Indian students in this country and pray for the generous Spirit to soften our hearts".
