(Worthy News) – Hundreds of minority Christians in Myanmar are being forced to sign papers vowing to limit their faith and not pray in churches, pastors have warned.

Christians who signed the pledges are now mandated to only pray privately in their homes and not in churches. [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
