Great Post. Saudi has never allowed Christian churces in the past. Among expats they turned a blind eye to prayer services in private homes. It would not have been good for a Saudi National. They also did not care about making of flash among expat nationals. Flash is moonshine. One must not give or sell it to national. If you did it you would be sent out of the country. If you did it for commercial profit you would be lashed and sent out of the country. A Saudi lashing is brutal. If true religious freedom comes to Saudi, this is a milestone of history. I hope it is true.

I have not seen any official confirmation of this.
I don’t think a Lutheran Church with married lesbians and homosexuals as their pastors will have any chance.
