Responding to the Easter Sunday Attacks<\/strong><\/p>\n

We write today<\/strong> as a group of Sri Lankan Catholics and Christians, deeply saddened by the attacks on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. We grieve with the families of all victims \u2013 whether they are Catholic, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or non-religious. We cannot understand what could motivate such acts of violence against innocent men, women and children. We call on the authorities to ensure that all those who planned, resourced, enabled and executed these attacks are held responsible and that no further violence takes place.<\/p>\n

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks. We are deeply troubled that a small group of Muslims in our country became so radicalized that they were willing to carry out such violence against their fellow citizens. But we are also deeply dismayed by attempts to blame these attacks on the entire Muslim community \u2013 many of whom are horrified by what has happened. We cannot and must not blame an entire community for the acts of a few.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Easter Sunday we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. This day reminds us of how the God of the Bible ultimately dealt with evil. He came to earth as one of us, suffered as we do, took the worst of our evil onto himself, and defeated it through self-sacrificial love. If we believe the truth of the Resurrection, then we must live it out in this crucial moment.<\/p>\n

Just as Jesus did, we have experienced terrible evil in the last few days. We are grieving. But, empowered by God\u2019s Spirit, we must never allow evil to become an excuse for revenge and hate. Even in our pain and fear we must be the first to stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters, and against the spread of anti-Muslim hate \u2013 online and offline, among friends and family, in our offices and in our communities. It is these acts that will witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God – a visible demonstration of our conviction that Jesus defeated sin on the Cross, and that sin, evil and death will not have the last word in Sri Lanka, or in our world.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
