Letters | Hong Kong protesters must call an end to violence before China intervenes
It is time for these protests accompanied by violence to stop immediately and for those involved to come to their senses before Hong Kong’s interests are further put at risk.

Beyond praying for Hong Kong, what can we do?
At this time, the worst of human nature has been revealed. The Bible says we are all created in the image of God, but where has that image gone?
Not surprisingly, many people have turned to increased violence to press for a solution. But surely violence is not the only way out. Many people’s lives and safety have been sacrificed.
What is amazing is that many people remain unaffected, blissfully enjoying their lives, as if this is the best of times. Have we become so stony-hearted after all?
As a law-abiding person, born and living in Hong Kong for half a century, I feel powerless in the face of the present situation. As a Christian, I believe in praying our way through. But what else can be done?
God have mercy on us all.
