“Receive my love and thanks for your prayers and expressions of solidarity after the terrible criminal assassination attempt which I suffered on 17 March of this year and in which my driver, Francis Martinez, was gravely injured. However, thanks be to God, he already is out of danger and is recovering and I was not injured. Thank you for your solidarity and your constant prayers which have been our best protective shield.
“I give thanks to God for the expressions of friendship I have received from our friends in the church and in all of the Anglican Communion. These give me the confidence to continue in the service of God in my beloved country of El Salvador.
“I also take this opportunity to wish you a happy and blessed Easter.”
– The Most Rev’d Martin Barahona Bishop of the Episcopal Church of El Salvador and Primate of the Anglican Church of the Region of Central America
