Breaking News: 200 Held In Underground Church Raids
August 9, 2005

The Standard, a Chinese paper, is reporting the following news:
Authorities recently detained more than 200 members and clergy of underground churches in several provinces, closed down a Shanghai church and harassed two US tourists in a renewed campaign against unauthorized religious activity, a US-based activist says.

The two Americans, both theological students, were detained August 2 while attending a church service with 41 Chinese churchgoers at a home in Lutou, a village in Hubei province, Bob Fu, a church monitor based in Midland, Texas, said Tuesday. The two students were later released but complained of mistreatment, Fu said.

The rest

A matter for prayer!
