Catholic church in Tripoli reports break-in as fighting rages

Nairobi, Kenya, August 23 (ENInews)--A Roman Catholic church in Tripoli,
the Libyan capital where heavy fighting is raging, has reported a break-in,
according to an Anglican Church leader who has responsibility over Libya,
Algeria and Tunisia.

"My priest had told me that one of the Catholic churches in Tripoli had
been broken into, but everyone is fine," said Bishop Bill Musk of the
Province of North Africa told ENInews in a telephone interview from Tunis, Tunisia
on 23 August. "It is impossible to reach Libya now [by telephone]. I have
been trying to reach the priest since yesterday, but the telephone network
is down," he added.

There are Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Anglican and some Pentecostal churches
in Libya, who have been supporting each another and have been in good
fellowship, according to Musk.
