[Baptist Press News] 12 Dec 2008--China's ministry of civil affairs has issued a statement calling for the elimination of the Chinese House Church Alliance, according to reports circulated by China Aid Association and Voice of the Martyrs, a move some say "could well cause the abolishment of all the Christian house churches" in the communist country."

It has been found through investigations that the 'Chinese House Church Alliance' is not registered, and it engages in activities in the name of a social organization without authorization," the statement, which includes the official seal of the ministry of civil affairs, said. "... This agency has hereby made the decision to abolish the 'Chinese House Church Alliance.'"
