A priest in a Catholic
church in Medan, Indonesia, was yesterday stabbed by a man pretending to be a
worshipper in the church. While the
priest was giving the sermon, people heard what sounded like a firecracker
and saw the man rushing towards the priest with his backpack on fire. He was
only able to stab the priest’s arm however, before he was pinned down by the
congregation. Luckily the firecracker did not explode but only fumed. A symbol
indicating support for the Islamic State was found on the attacker.
Thank God the attempt failed. However, the onus is still
on churches round the world to be as vigilant as possible and on the look-out would-be attackers. May God continue to save His own.
