[Religious Intelligence] 16 Oct 2008--The Church of North India’s bishop in Orissa state has sent out an urgent appeal for assistance following weeks of communal violence that have left dozens of Christians dead and thousands more driven from their homes.

The church is also hard at work, seeing that justice is done and that those behind the attacks are held accountable for their crimes, the Rt Rev Samson Dass, Bishop in Cuttack said.

Writing on Oct 9 to American, Canadian and English bishops he met at the Lambeth Conference, Bishop Dass reported that Orissa was “burning with the flames of communal violence.”
