- Notes
- "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'."
