Car Nicobar's famous church flattened by tsunami:
[India News]: Port Blair, Jan 1 : The famous John Richardson church in Car Nicobar in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has been completely destroyed by the giant tsunami that also killed thousands in the pristine archipelago.

"Nothing remains of the church," moaned pastor Silvanus, who has just been rescued by navy from Car Nicobar, part of the archipelago which has 572 islands, islets and rocks in the Bay of Bengal.

Officially named the St. Thomas Cathedral Church, it was established in the 1930s during British colonial rule and was one of the oldest and most distinguished churches in the region.

The name John Richardson comes from late local hero and missionary Bishop John Richardson who spread Christianity across the Andamans, was a legendary do-gooder and was even nominated to parliament by India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

He died in 1978 and this year a special statue dedicated to him and a stadium named after him were to open in Car Nicobar. But everything was washed away by the tsunami.

Even the guesthouses, which were to keep Andaman and Nicobar Lieutenant Governor Ram Kapse when he would arrive to inaugurate the statue and the stadium, were completely destroyed.

"I am more sad about the destruction of the church than even my injuries," said Anil Mistry, part of the parish of the St. Thomas Church and now a tsunami survivor in a hospital here.

He has fractured both his kneecaps and is suffering from food poisoning. "The church meant everything to me and to so many people from Nicobar. John Richardson was like a saviour here - there are so many he helped, so many lives he had touched.

"To think that anything built in his memory should suffer like this is tragic, really tragic."

Added H. Samuel, another survivor: "He was the messiah with the gospel around here. It is because of John Richardson that so many people were able to learn to write and speak in English.

"He literally showed us the light and now everything that we wanted to do for his memory has been cast into darkness. The moment I get healed, I'll try to do my best to recreate a church in his name."

India's Christian community was not spared. "It has been a terrible tragedy since it all happened on Sunday when the church service was on, and it occurred during the Christmas period," Donald H.R. De Souza, spokesman for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, said earlier this week. "In the Kottar area of Tamil Nadu, about 300 Christians who were attending a religious service died."

One of the country's holiest Christian sites, the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Velankanni, was hit severely. The shrine, typically busiest during the Christmas season, has reported at least 700 deaths, and that number is expected to rise dramatically.
