Members of the Church in India warned to take shelter
The Patriarch has asked members of the Church in India to gather necessary supplies and take shelter in light of recent rioting. The Patriarch said, “It is my belief that the rioting now is going to lead to many deaths. Everyone who receives this communication in Gujarat state should make sure they have enough food and water to last several days and take shelter. Those who are making their way north should move quickly. Do not delay.”
