Daniel O’Connor, a Columban priest from New Zealand working in the Diocese of Hyderabad in Pakistan, reports on the aftermath of the Peshawar church bombing two weeks ago.

“Life will not be the same for their loved ones again, and not for the Christian community, not for other minorities, and not for the majority of peace loving Muslims in Pakistan.”
On 22 September two suicide bombers exploded their bombs in All Saints Anglican Church as worshippers were leaving after services to get a free meal of rice offered on the front lawn killing 85 and wounding 141 people.
Militants linked to Pakistani Taliban have said they carried out the bombing in the city, which lies in what was formerly known as the North-West Frontier of Pakistan.
