Chinese Christian Academy Banned as government toughened its religious prohibition laws
Local authorities in China’s central Henan province have reportedly
closed down a Christian-run institution dedicated to bringing children
up with good morals - claiming its religious component “brainwashed with
religion” its students.

On September 14, Chinese national security officers invaded the
institution and confiscated books they’d used for theology classes for
children. The security agents also reportedly removed other items
belonging to a church, including the computer.

'They closed and banned the academy,' Ms. Zhu, a Chinese Christian woman, told reporters.

Prohibitions in China

Such prohibitions on teaching religion to children are common in China,
despite the Chinese Constitution’s guarantee that all citizens enjoy freedom of belief.

However, despite several threats from their government, alot of Chinese
parents insist on taking their children to church and other Christian-
related activities.

China's Regulations on Religious Affairs Laws

And in what many consider a desperate reaction, the Chinese government has toughened its
prohibition on children attending religious events in the revised
edition of its Regulations on Religious Affairs, scheduled to take
effect in February, 2018.

China's Religious Regulations which was first issued November 30, 2004,
became effective March 1, 2005.

This act abuses by the Chinese government on Christians attempting to
share the Gospel with their children, needs to be given special
attension by all Christians, we should all pray for the persecuted Christians of China.

We must all stand in solidarity with the tormented Christians for rule
of law to prevail and in order to attain religious freedom, human rights
for all Chinese people in this 21st century.
