Officials bar Christian minors from college exams

    On June 23, a government office in China’s central Guizhou province informed Christian parents that if children do not stop attending church, they will be forbidden from entering college or the military.“

    They (public security) intend to cleanse us and ask us to join the Three-Self Church,” Mou, the person in charge of Huaqiu Church, said.

    After issuing the notice, government personnel forced members of Huaqiu Church to sign a document saying that they would no longer take minors to church. Any children attending the church will be ineligible for the college entrance exam or admittance into a military academy, and their parents will be sued. 

    Mou said, “Yesterday morning, I questioned a government official in our township, saying, ‘We do not accept the way you handled our church’s public meetings … What regulations does the central government have prohibiting [church] meetings? Let us see them.’ He said, ‘The higher level leadership ordered us to do this; we are just doing [as they say].’ Huaqiu is in a dark place.”

    According to Chinese legislation, children under the age of 18 may not receive any religious education, making it imperative that Christian parents have the theological knowledge to teach their children at home.
