All I want for Christmas

Last week’s attack on the Bethel Memorial Methodist Church has cast a pall of gloom over Christmas celebrations in Pakistan. As always, the holiday season has brought with it a security concern for Christian communities in the country. Security has been tightened in various cities to prevent any untoward incident.

Amid the high alerts and threats, we must not forget that Christmas has always been celebrated in the country with fervour. Efforts must be made to ensure that the Christian community can celebrate this holiday without any hindrances.
