Several Christian families in India remain in hiding following a brutal mob attack by tribal animists that sent 21 Christians to local hospitals.
Morning Star News (MSN) reports the animists threatened to kill the families for informing law enforcement authorities about the attack.
Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Animists believe all things including plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words can be alive.
On Nov. 25, the mob armed with bamboo sticks, iron rods, bows and arrows, and iron sickles, attacked a home and adjoining church hall in Chingrwaram village, Sukma District, where Christians had celebrated a child dedication the previous evening.
