6/18/14 CHINA BULLDOZES CHURCH for REFUSING TO TAKE DOWN CROSS, (China is still anti-Christianity,despite allowing some forms of "state church" which don't allow for spontaneous inspiration of the Holy Spirit . The true church,filled with hope,love,& grace, must remain "underground" But then,in some regards,that's true everywhere. The true church is "invisble" & we are connected by the Spirit...all true believers in Christ,regardless of denomination) search:,xia baolong,sanjiang, ;*read more at

"...This made what followed surprising and all
the more shocking. In October 2013, not long
after the edifice was erected, Xia Baolong,
the provincial party leader, visited the area
and took note of the big cross. He was not
amused. He ordered the cross to be taken
down. The order was followed by a threat
that the entire church would be demolished
unless the cross was removed. According to
the Times story, other churches "dotted the
landscape". Some of them also had crosses
on the roof (even if not of Sanjiang's
dimension). All of them received the same
order and threat. This unexpected massive
government action was officially explained
as due to violations of zoning regulations
and/or threats to building safety. This
pretense was unmasked by an intrepid bit of
investigative journalism by the Times ("all
the news that's fit to print", even in a far-
away corner of China), which managed to
get hold... Attempts to negotiate with
local authorities failed to resolve the issue.
On April 28, 2014, bulldozers demolished the
entire church. I don't know whether there
were any further developments around the
issue..."
