Rev Yohan Devananda, who served dialogue in Sri Lanka for 60 years, is dead
The Anglican clergyman came from a wealthy family, but chose to serve the people of his country. He built a Christian ashram to nurture dialogue between Christians, Buddhists and Marxists. Over time, the facility became a hub for young, strikers, and activists. He also worked on improving relations between the north and the south, stood up to the Rajapaksa regime, and saved hundreds of people during the civil war.
