MORAKETIYA, Sri Lanka, Jan. 19 -A dozen Americans walked into a relief
\n camp here, showering bereft parents and traumatized children with gifts,
\n attention and affection. They also quietly offered camp residents something
\n else: Jesus.<\/p>\n
The Americans, who all come from one church in Texas, have staged plays detailing
\nthe life of Jesus and had children draw pictures of him, camp residents said.
\nThey have told parents who lost children that they should still believe in God,
\nand held group prayers where they tried to heal a partly paralyzed man and a
\ndeaf 12year-old girl.<\/p>\n
The attempts at proselytizing are angering local Christian leaders, who worry
\nthat they could provoke a violent backlash against Christians in Sri Lanka, a
\npredominantly Buddhist country that is already a religious tinderbox.<\/p>\n
