Chinese Authorities Demolish Megachurch, Arrest Pastors

Communist officials detained the church’s pastors, Geng Yimin and Sun Yongyao, on suspicion of “gathering a crowd to disturb social order.”

Written by Adam Ford | Tuesday, October 29, 2019

No legal papers ordering the church’s demolition were provided, but government officials tore it down on Friday — even though it was reportedly part of the country’s officially-recognized church network.

 

Chinese authorities destroyed a 3,000-seat megachurch in Anhui province and detained its pastors over the weekend, ChinaAid reports.

No legal papers ordering the church’s demolition were provided, but government officials tore it down on Friday — even though it was reportedly part of the country’s officially-recognized church network.

It was mid-worship service when the destruction took place, according to ChinaAid, who provided a brief video clip of the demolition in progress.
