The spirituality of Tolerance



ORISSA Hindu extremists attacked Christians in the State of Orissa and they burnt the Capuchin Minor Seminary, Barakhama, and its chapel to the ground. The 32 students and four staff members at the Arunodaya Ashram and the minor seminary had to flee on foot for their safety.

These Hindu hardliners, known as the VHP (Vishva Hindu Parishad) and RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), attacked and destroyed at least 12 Christian churches and institutions in Orissa, especially in Khandhamal District, which is part of the Archdiocese of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar from December 24th through December 26th. They also destroyed some Christian homes. They want the Christians to be out of Orissa. They accuse them of trying to convert the Hindus in the region. These Hindu fanatics seem to be targeting mostly the buildings of missionaries, of priests and religious.

Religion which is insensitive to human( life) ills and social crimes do not appeal to modern man. Religion is Realisation. Religions are having tremendous power in them, but often have done more injurey to the world than good, simply on account of their narrowness and limitations.
True Religion forbids man to hate anybody.Religion is not for separating people. It is to bind them. We chrisitians remain always in love , truth, tolerance and service to humanity.
