CNA: Indian archbishop urges peace on anniversary of anti-Christian violence

Archbishop John Barwa of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar, India, appeals for "peace and tranquility" on the third anniversary of anti-Christian violence in Orissa state. More than 100 were killed, 18,000 injured, and 50,000 forced to flee at the hands of Hindu extremists during the anti-Christian massacres of 2008.
