Christianity under attack

Last week, Christians formed a  human shield around a church in China. They flocked to the Sanjiang church in Wenzhou - a rich port city known as the “Jerusalem of the East” because of its large Christian community - after its demolition was announced. 

Faithless Communist officials have denied waging a “demolition campaign” against churches in the country's most Christian regions, after reportedly ordering a dozen to be destroyed.

The churches - in the eastern province of Zhejiang - are currently facing demolition or having their crosses removed, activists claim. Other churches are said to have been ordered to make themselves “less conspicuous” by turning their lights off at night.
