The news: Indian Catholic bishops, through the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI), have formally condemned an attack on a Santali Bible convention held in West Bengal. The CBCI demanded immediate government action against those responsible, expressing deep concern over the safety of Christian gatherings in the region.
Why it matters for church leaders: Attacks on church conventions and gatherings are a sobering reminder that ministry in certain parts of India carries real risk. Whether you lead a large convention or a small local assembly, this news calls every pastor to be aware of security, have a response plan, and stay connected with local church networks and legal support organizations.
The takeaway: Review your church's safety protocols for large gatherings and know your local legal contacts in case of an emergency.
