Christmas Celebration Forbidden in Indonesia
|
|
|
 A small group of believers in the village of Bandengan in Cirebon , West Java was refused permission to celebrate Christmas on December 15, despite earlier assurances that they would be allowed to do so. For the past three years, Christian workers have been holding services in the village. At present, there are ten believers in this predominantly Muslim community. The day before the planned Christmas celebration, police informed the pastor that all regular religious services were to cease immediately.

Bintijaya (61) Injured in Bomb Attack in Palu, December 12, 2004
|
In recent weeks, several churches in West Java have been forced to close. Last week, the Persecution and Prayer Alert reported on a coordinated attack of two churches in Palu, along with fears of increased violence during the Christmas season. Photographs of the attacks are now available (click here). For more information on persecution of Indonesian Christians, click here. |

PLEASE NOTE: In order to give our staff a well-deserved break, there will be no regular Persecution and Prayer Alert sent out next week. We will resume our regular schedule on January 5, 2005. We wish you all a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. |
