Henan officials implement house church crackdown

    In an recent move, administrative offices in China’s central Henan province convened a meeting on Aug. 31 to discuss targeting unauthorized Catholic and Protestant churches and force them to comply with Party regulations.

    State-run departments in a county of Jiaozuo, Henan, gathered on Aug. 31 and addressed China’s rapidly growing network of Catholic and Protestant house churches. Government department head Tai Xuchen said the meeting’s purpose was to divide the regulation of house churches and maintain the stability and order of religion. He emphasized the “necessity” of stringent regulations, claiming, “The frequency of private religious sites in our county disrupts legal religious activities.”

    They set a four-step series of objectives, to be met within a specified time limit. During the first, slated to occur from Sept. 4-5, local government departments identified Catholic and Protestant house churches. From Sept. 5-16, local departments assisted the religious affairs bureaus in issuing notices to the specified churches. On Sept. 11-30, government personnel attempted to close all churches that refused to comply with their commands. Finally, from Oct. 1-15, officials are to review and transcribe their success rate, to be included in their year-end review.
