Aprašymas
Pakistan is a young country with ancient history and rich cultural heritage. It has been a melting pot for races and religions from the pre-historic times and home to some of the oldest civilizations like Mehrgarh in Balochistan, Indus Valley Civilization in Sindh and the Punjab (Potohar) and Gandhara Civilization in Pakhtunkhwa. It has been the centre of mighty empires and birthplace of religions. It is a land of Rishis, Sufis and Saints who preached peace and of warriors who bore the brunt of ruthless invaders and stemmed the tide of Alexander into the subcontinent. It has strong traditions of social harmony and religious toleration, strengthened by the Sufis. Among the salient features of cultural diversity in Pakistan, is the presence of religious minorities and their distinctive places of worship which adorn its landscape and lend colour to the social life. Like all religious monuments, the churches are among the attractive edifices in our cities. Their spires and domes make an interesting blend with the rising minarets of the mosques on the skyline, representing the religious harmony within the society itself. The images of the churches are an index of the well being of the community they represent. Therefore, the book is designed to portray the life of the Christian minority, through the eye of the camera, focusing on the beautiful churches in the cities, towns and the countryside, with a brief introduction to the history of churches in the progress of the country.
