Hanging out at the Bangkok Christian Guesthouse gives me the opportunity to rub shoulders with interesting people from around the world. Recently I conversed with a Pakistani Christian Pastor who is now working with the Lutheran Church in Thailand.
Conversation turned naturally to conditions in Pakistan and specifically to situations of Christians there...not good, in summary. He said it would be worse if it were not for American and European aid to the country. Should that aid end it would be terribly difficult for Christians. He wishes that Europe and America would use that aid to insist that the government adhere to their constitution that stipulates freedom of religion.
His family have been Christian for generations, long before India and Pakistan were formed into separate countries following British Colonial rule. His family, residing in a predominately Muslim area, became part of Pakistan which is majority Muslim.
