Persecution

Reuters - China to crack down on 'chaotic' online religious info: media
Reuters reports: "China has drawn up new draft guidelines to crack down on the 'chaotic' and illegal online promotion of religion, the official Global Times reported on Tuesday, part of a tough state campaign to bring religious worship into line. [...] Chinese citizens are theoretically free to practice any religion as long as it is officially recognized by the government. It has repeatedly cracked down on unauthorized religious activity, with authorities in Beijing shutting down a large Protestant church on Monday."

Comment: Hundreds and maybe even thousands of Christian house-churches are under threat from this new crackdown.  Please join me in praying for the church in China, that the government will realize they have nothing to fear from Christians.
