Church burned down in Indonesia
June 17, 2015
A Protestant church was burned down in Indonesia’s Papua province on June 15, the Jakarta Globe reported.
“This is the first time a church is burned down in the central mountains [of Papua],” said the local leader of the evangelical denomination. “It is a sad development for everybody, big and small, that this house of God could be burned down.”
Local separatists who wish to secede from Indonesia are suspected in the attack.
