The Anglican church in bin Laden’s neighborhood


From Houston-

The Episcopal Church is urging parishioners to pray for Christians living in Abbottabad, Pakistan—the city where Osama bin Laden was located and killed.

Located in the heart of Abbottabad is St. Luke’s Anglican Church, a historic Gothic chapel that holds between 250 and 300 people during Sunday services, according to an article posted by the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. The diocese, headquartered in Houston, has maintained a relationship with the church in Pakistan, called the Peshawar Diocese.

Pakistan’s former bishop the Rt. Rev. Mano Rumalshah and current leader the Rt. Rev. Humphrey S. Peters visited Houston in February.

They donned cowboy hats and met with local bishop the Rt. Rev. Andy Doyle. The leaders discussed the dangers of living in area with the threat of Taliban forces as well as powerful natural disasters.
