Indonesian churches reduced to rubble

[sydneyanglicans.net] 2 Sep 2008--Church buildings are the latest target in a fresh wave of persecution facing Christian churches in Indonesia.

SC was told of one case where police moved in one morning to allow bulldozers to demolish a church building.

Within an hour, the building was a pile of rubble with only a cross marking the spot where the church had stood.

The pastor, nursing a head wound sustained as police moved in, was back at the site, with his congregation that Sunday and held a service under a tarpaulin.
