Churches in Sri Lanka say they are “deeply perturbed by the humanitarian crisis in the country” that coincides with an all-out offensive by government forces to capture remaining areas under the control of ethnic Tamil rebels.
“The present situation is totally inimical to the fostering of peace with justice and ensuring the well being of all the people,” said the National Christian Council (NCC) of Sri Lanka in a statement on Oct.13.
The statement was signed by officials of the eight Protestant churches that constitute the NCC as well as five ecumenical institutions that are associate members in the church council.
