Kyrgyzstan: church closed

Kyrgyz converts to Christianity

A church that is home to many former Muslims was ordered to cease its Sunday worship in June.

Services at the church, which is led by a convert from Islam, were interrupted twice in the Spring by a group of people consisting of local officials, representatives of the Prosecutor’s office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, assistants to the local imam and former colleagues from the school at which the pastor used to teach.

On both occasions, members of the group demanded that the service be stopped.
