Chinese Christian leaders are being forbidden to travel to an evangelical gathering in Cape Town, South Africa. The government claims the event and the activities of these Christians are a threat to state security. The actions of the Chinese government highlight the continuing persecution of Christians and other faith traditions around the world, according to the Board of Church and Society. The board calls upon members of The United Methodist Church to pray, build awareness and contact the U.S. State Department at (202) 647-5291 and urge pressure on the Chinese government to lift restrictions on people to practice their faith.
