Archbishop
Malkhaz Songulashvili writes
"It grieves my heart when I think that what has happened in Boston will cause yet another wave of hatred towards our Muslim brothers and sisters both in the USA and beyond. We will never know how many innocent Muslims will be humiliated, hurt and abused as a result of the violence in Boston. This will only help the representatives of political Islam to recruit more people. This should be stopped.
All the security services of the world, police a and military forces may try their best but I am afraid they can not stop hatred and fear. Love, forgiveness and kindness can!"
This
is an excerpt from a long letter from the Baptist Bishop from Georgia (in the former USSR).
But I think it is worth the time to read the whole thing about religious intolerance,
perceptions, and our call to Christian hospitality as a way of reconciliation.
His letter comes in response to the Boston Marathon Bombing.
Let
us know what you think.
