Telegraph - George W Bush speaks out for China's Christians
The Telegraph reports: "Mr Bush and his wife Laura visited Kuanjie Three-self Patriotic Church, part of the official, state-backed protestant church movement. Chinese authorities had rejected suggestions he might go to a 'house church', as gatherings of Christians who refuse to register with the government are called. However, Mr Bush made a strong statement of support for such worshippers, who are often heavily persecuted for their faith."

Comment: This is really nice to see, he deserves credit for promoting Christianity in China and indirectly calling attention to the persecution of house churches.
