At least three men entered St. Paul's Church (in Patoki) firing semi automatic weapons.
No one was injured and it was apparently an attempt to intimidate rather than injure or kill.
The problem will be if this crime is not dealt with harshly there are fears that the problem will grow worse.
The alleged attackers (whose names are known) have repeatedly harassed the pastor and parishioners.
This latest attack happened after Church officials asked the men to stop harassing the Church.
The authorities are often slow to help the minority Christian community and are attempting to sweep this case under the rug.
