The response to our ATP Photo Quiz on the Churches of Pakistan was heartening. Many of the church buildings we featured were guessed right. Some were not. It is time now to reveal the correct answers; at least some will surprise you.
First, however, let me share with you (above) this addition drawing - an engraving from March 1880, published in the Graphic - of the Cathedral in Lahore. I thought this was an impressive drawing of an impressive building and worth adding to our collection of more contemporary photographs featured in our Quiz.
Coming to the fifteen photographs in the ATP Photo-Quiz from last week, here are the correct answers (clicking on any photograph will take you to a larger image and details, where available).
(1) Rawalpindi: St. Joseph’s Hospice; (2) Lahore: St. Anthony’s Church;
(3) Murree: Anglican Church.

As a North American, I very much enjoyed viewing the pictures of churches in Pakistan — especially the old ones. Yes, to some they may symbolize only western colonialism and exploitation. But from the contemporary Christian perspective, perhaps they can also be viewed as pointing to the virtues of tolerance, love for ALL humankind (whatever their race or creed), and compassion for those who suffer: the tenets of religious faith at its most enlightened — whether Christian or non-Christian.

We are all very impressed by the presence of Chritians with
places of worship in Pakistan, good reason for “correcting”
some false propagandas spread by bad-intentioned
prosylitists. It does change completely the “fixed” ideas.
