Write a short paragraph covering the profession and personality traits, with examples, of (a) Rev. Peter Bernard Pereira

Rev. Peter Bernard Pereira was the bishop of the Thumba region in Kerala. He was wise, broad-minded and selfless. When Dr Sarabhai asked for the land with the church, his house and the school, he did not refuse rudely; he invited the scientists to church and persuaded his people to give up their homes and even God’s abode for a scientific mission. He understood that science and spirituality both work for human welfare. His tactful handling showed his leadership and his true spirit of religious service.
