Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali has called on the Government in Pakistan to do more to protect the country's Christian community following Sunday's terrorist attack on a church in Peshawar that killed at least 80 worshippers. 

Commenting on the atrocity on BBC Radio 5 Live, Bishop Nazir-Ali said:  

"This is part of a pattern of attacks on churches that have been taking place over a number of years.  This is the worst example of it by far.  I'm absolutely horrified at what these people [the terrorists] are capable of doing to innocent worshippers.

"The question now is: is any place of worship safe? These places are not defended, and these people are defenseless."

Bishop Nazir-Ali has also featured in a special report on the attack on BBC South East Today.  Watch it here >
