Story number 3 for 14 Nov 2000

Compass Direct is reporting that a recent survey of seven house church leaders in China shows little anxiety about the impact of new religion rules. The decrees were issued last month and forbid all foreigners living in or visiting China from “expounding the Scriptures” at unofficial house churches. The new code affirms the basic policy that all religious activity of foreigners in China needs to be pre-approved by official bodies and must only take place among officially approved churches.
