dbpprop:abstract
  • The Church of Pakistan is a united church in Pakistan, which is part of the Anglican Communion and a member church of the World Methodist Council. It was established in 1970 with a union of Anglicans, Scottish Presbyterians, Methodists, and Lutherans. It is the only United Church in the South Asia which involves the Lutheran Church. Though united, it is mainly Anglican in theology and outlook, since from the beginning Anglicans formed the bulk of the 800,000 strong congregation and most of the important Sees. Despite the presence of this official body, Christians in Pakistan have been the victims of significant persecution because of their religion on a local level in the 20th century. Its most internationally famous clergyman, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, formerly diocesan bishop of Raiwind in West Punjab, was given sanctuary by Robert Runcie, the then-Archbishop of Canterbury when his life was imperilled; he then taught at Oxford and is currently the bishop of Rochester, England.
  • Die Church of Pakistan ist die größte evangelische Kirche Pakistans. Gemeinsam mit anderen gehört sie zur Familie der vereinigten und sich vereinigenden Kirchen. Sie ist sowohl Glied der Anglikanischen Kirchengemeinschaft als auch des Weltrats methodistischer Kirchen.
