- Notes
- From 22-29 November 2005 Bishop Michael Jackson "accompanied the Archbishop of Canterbury [Dr. Rowan Williams] on a week-long visit to Pakistan. The provincial visit was occasioned by the episcopal silver jubilee of the Bishop of Lahore and Moderator of the Church of Pakistan, the Right Reverend Alexander Malik and by a desire to meet some people who had experienced the October [2005] Earthquake and those now responding to the human need. .... Owing to time constraints the visit brought us to three of Pakistan's dioceses, Lahore, Peshawar and Raiwind in a period of seven days." "Christian people in Pakistan constitute an official Minority side by side with Hindus, Sikhs, Parsees, Zoroastrians and others. Securing information has been difficult and we know that often the situation on the ground is tense and intimidating for Minorities."

- "Anglican and Roman Catholic bishops from around the world came together for a week in Canterbury and Rome to celebrate the deepening relationship between their traditions over the past 50 years. .... This September [2016], the extraordinary summit of the International Anglican-Roman Catholic Commission on Unity and Mission (IARCCUM) was described as a 'new kind of ecumenism driven by mission'. Co chair of IARCCUM, the Suffragan Bishop in Europe, the Rt. Rev. David Hamid, said, 'It has been a source of deep joy to all the bishops gathered from all over the world, who have shared their experiences, their challenges and their wisdom' (p. 10)". "Two of those who took part were Archbishop Sebastian Shaw, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Lahore, and the Anglican Bishop of Sialkot, the Rt. Rev. Alwin Samuel. They talked to the Anglican Communion's Director for Communications, Adrian Butcher, about reconciliation and why it is such an important part of their role in Pakistan" (p. 10).
- Asked about the challenges facing a bishop in Pakistan, Bishop Samuel replied: "'We have to serve the Christian community and secondly, we are seen as a symbol of Christianity by the Muslim majority. As a bishop I have to be part of the vital interfaith dialogue, and in some cases, to initiate that dialogue. We are very respected by the majority, Muslim, community -- the sunnis and the shias. .... we have to work hard and we have to continue making efforts to build peace in areas where there is antipathy between Muslims and minorities -- including Christians" (p. 11). "What about reconciliation in the future ? Archbishop Sebastian: One problem is to identify the matter and find a solution. In the remote areas, where there is more or less no education, people live with a very ghetto mentality. In that area, Christians who go to school are discriminated against and persecuted ... And there is a big problem with hate material in text books. .... The solution is interfaith dialogue. We try to make imams and Islamic scholars see what needs to be changed" (p. 11).

Bishop Humphrey Peters, who is now the new Primate and Moderator of the Church of Pakistan, convened the meeting which brought together leaders of minority faiths, including Christians, Hindus and Sikhs, with leaders of the majority Muslim faith. Bishop Humphrey highlighted interfaith achievements and praised those who had been working to promote peace in a region which has been the repeated target of extremist and terrorist groups. The initiative was supported by the branch of the international [Christian development charity World Vision.]". [Text of entire article.]

- "The Diocese of Peshawar has inaugurated a new community and worship building at Christian Colony, Ring Road, Peshawar, in memory of those killed in the terrorist attack on All Saints Anglican Church on 22 September 2013. Over 125 people died and some 170 were injured when two suicide bombers attacked the church at the end of a Sunday worship service. The Diocese views the building as an example of the way the church is growing and expanding its places of worship. At the dedication service Bishop of Peshawar Humphrey Peters thanked God for moving the authorities to provide land for the centre. Referring to the prayer of King Solomon, he asked that the Lord hear the cry of His people and that 'the cloud of your presence [would] remain always on this church and make it your dwelling place'."
