The Great Disciples Of Jesus!
Dr. Graham Stuart Staines (1941 – 22 January 1999) was an Australian Christian missionary who along with his two sons Philip (aged 10) and Timothy (aged 6) were burnt to death by a gang while sleeping in his station wagon at Manoharpur village in Keonjhar district in Orissa, India on 22 January 1999. In 2003, the Hindu activist Dara Singh was convicted of leading the gang that murdered Staines and Singh is now serving life in prison. He had been working in Orissa among the tribal poor and especially with leprosy patients since 1965. Hindu groups allege that he forcefully converted or lured many Hindus into Christianity, however Staines' widow Gladys Stains denied these allegations. She continued to live in India caring for leprosy patients until 2004 before going back to Australia. In 2005 she was awarded the second highest civilian honor in India, Padma Sree, in recognition for her work with leprosy patients in Orissa.
