Pakistani Bishop Visits New York Diocese

Episcopal News Service. August 31, 1995 [95-1214U]

(ENS) Bishop Mano Rumalshah of the Church of Pakistan's Peshawar diocese recently visited the Diocese of New York and the Episcopal Church Center. He traveled to the United States hoping to form partnerships in mission between his diocese, which includes the Khyber Pass, and dioceses in the United States. He said the Christian church in Pakistan was "constantly called to be a witness to our faith in serving and loving others including our Muslim neighbors" and the reality of being a Christian in such situations at times was very "painful." He said that "for this purpose there is an acute need for global relationships, based upon the Body of Christ, to become real and meaningful." Rumalshah invited any person or parish interested in forming a relationship with the Diocese of Peshawar to write to him directly at Diocesan Center, 1 - Sir Syed Road, Peshawar 25000, Pakistan, call 0521/276519, or fax 0521/277499.
