An English parish church? No, the cathedral in Peshawar. So much here reflects the British involvement in the history of this area.
Higher education is taught in English so a 'good' education involves going to an English medium school, easy if you have money, not so easy if you don't. But the church is a player in education and prioritises the poor when it can. Christians tend to be poor here. The slum areas I visited yesterday witnessed to that; a church literacy, health and sewing project was a real ray of hope. Steve
