The
Story of Ananda and the Christian Evangelists
By Bodu Pubudu Foundation, Panadura
Mr Ananda Fernando, an ex-Police officer, is residing at 8/4, Samudra
Mawatha, Panadura. He is 54 years old, married, and living with his
wife and two sons. Ananda hails from a respectable family from Moratuwa,
and the former MP for Nuwara Eliya, Mr T William Fernando was his uncle.
Ananda's caring wife, Asoka, is the daughter of a well respected educationist,
the retired Principal Mr M M M Fernando of Panadura, and a grand daughter
of the legendary K T Cornalis Peiris Loku Iskole Mahaththaya, one of
the Head Masters of Upadhyaya Vidyalaya, the first ever Sinhala Buddhist
School in the country to be registered with the Government. With the
above family background, both Ananda and Asoka had naturally been brought
up in a strong Sinhala Buddhist environment. They are very good Buddhists
and maintain a very close rapport with the temple of the area, Abhaya
Karunaratne Mudalindaaraamaya of Welipitiya, Panadura. -Full

Unethical Craft of conversion-Francois
Gautier Posted May 1, 2006

I was born and brought-up a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is
an Avatar of Love, and that now more than ever, specially after the
11th September terrorist attacks on America, we need his message of
compassion, charity and kindness for one another. Many Christians have
taught the world that the first precept of Christ is to look after the
deprived and the needy: Missionaries, such as Father Ceyrac, a French
Jesuit who has lived for more than 60 years in Chennai, have understood
this principle, tending to the poorest sections of this society, while
respecting their culture (Father Ceyrac, who speaks fluently Tamil and
Sanskrit, often quotes from the Upanishads). Unfortunately, there has
crept in the purity of the early Christianity an exclusiveness, a feeling
of sole proprietary right over God. This exclusiveness, this feeling
amongst Christians, that "we are the only true religion, and all other
gods are false gods", has had the most catastrophic and bloody consequences:
Millions have been killed in the name of Christ, entire civilisations,
such as the Atzecs and Incas, have been wiped-out, "to bring them the
word of Jesus". Even Christians have savagely murdered each other, whether
in France or England. One would have hoped that this intolerance, this
fanatical and militant drive to convert, forcibly or otherwise, pagans
to the "True" God, had ceased in this new millennium of "enlightenment".
Unfortunately, it is not so. For nearly three centuries, India has been
the target of a massive conversion drive. It is even more so today,
as Christianity is dwindling in the West: -Full

Conversion:
Unethical and otherwise - A Buddhist view By Ven Dhammika, The Island,
July 15, 2004
As a Christian who has become a Buddhist I have been observing the current
�conversion controversy� with some interest. I have read
with dismay the reports of churches being burnt and of pastors being
manhandled. Such behaviour is not just shameful, if probably does more
harm to Buddhism than any missionary could ever do. Further, people
who do such things are breaking the law and should be dealt with by
the law without fear of favour.� -Full
