Belarus expels visiting charismatic Christians
February 11, 2009
Two Danish visitors have been expelled from Belarus for leading prayer services at an independent Christian church. The service at the Living Faith Church was secretly recorded by a visitor, and that evidence used as the basis for the deportation order. All religious activity in Belarus is carefully monitored by the government, and 31 foreigners-- including 4 Catholic priests and 3 nuns-- have been expelled in recent years for unauthorized religious activity.
