Covid: wipeout fears, but church serves

Our worldwide Anglican news focuses this month on the life of a Christian community in India. Chris Sugden writes:

Divya Shanthi Church, School and Community Services grew out of St John’s Church ( Church of South India) Bangalore, India as a mission initiative to serve poor families in North Bangalore.

Impact of Covid

By mid-August only 10% of India’s 100 million people had been vaccinated. Infections swept India and Bangalore from mid-April, peaking in May and sustaining a high level of infections till mid-June. When the infection moves to villages in the rural areas the whole of a district’s Christian leadership is at risk of being wiped out.
