- Notes
- "The Bishop of Peshawar Diocese has said the Church will never abandon the Christian community which lost men, women and children in the suicide bomb attack on All Saints Church in September [2013]. Bishop Humphrey Peters swore that the Church would continue to look after and rehabilitate the injured, and do whatever it could to support the families financially. More than 80 Christians were killed and many more injured after a pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the 130-year-old Anglican church in Pakistan after Sunday Mass. It was the deadliest attack on Christians to date in the predominantly Muslim country. Not only did the attack rob families of their loved ones, but the resultant injuries mean some are now having to care for people with disabilities, while others have lost their wage earners".
