CWN.org - This year, Christians in Orissa state experienced some of the worst persecution ever in India.
The violence began in August when a Hindu leader was murdered.
Some 4,000 Christian homes and 400 churches were destroyed in the attacks that went on for weeks.
The events triggered violence against Christians in a number of other states.
"Every single Christian denomination has been attacked-- our schools, our colleges, our orphanages," explained Richard Howell of Evangelical Fellowship, India. "Everything that Christians own...have been attacked."
