Stories in Contrast: Christian & Hindu Love and the Lack Thereof

I read two contrasting stories today. First, from the news of the weird is this story from the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles: VirtueOnline: LOS ANGELES: Service celebrates 2 beliefs An LA Times story is reporting of a recent 'worship' experience that combined Hinduism and Episcopal worship. A statement from Bishop Bruno read at the service apologized for the sins of the past of Christians against Hindus and renounced proselytizing Hindus. They all handled an icon together and then had communion with consecrated Indian bread and wine; however, since orthodox Hindus shun alcohol they only consumed the bread. The article also says, "In respect to Hindu tradition, a tray of flowers was also presented." As to whom they were presented, we're not sure. Interfaith groups, ecumenics and priests alike with giddy with joy over such an lovefest. And then comes this lovely story from: Barnabas Fund Email News, telling of some of the worst violence against Christians in history of India by Hindus. On Christmas Eve and Day, 95 churches and 730 homes of Christians were burned. "In cases where a Christian ministry operated from rented premises owned by a Hindu, the attackers were careful not to damage the building, but took all the contents outside and set them on fire." The actual numbers of murders are unavailable because the murders are destroying the bodies before they can be identified. Christians are being chased from their homes and living out in the forest where they suffer from starvation and dehydration and continue to be chased by bears and tigers. Just for the record, the LA Times article does not record any apology from those peaceful, god fearing Hindus.
