(Morning Star News) The threat of investigating a church for possible criminal activity in the spread of COVID-19 in Vietnam was confirmed in a letter on Friday (June 18) from officials to a recently formed house-church alliance, sources said.
In the letter of reply to the Vietnam Evangelical Alliance, made up of 40 house-church organizations, the head of the Government Committee for Religious Affairs (GCRA), Gen. Vu Chien Thang, gave the first official word that security authorities were investigating the Revival Ekklesia Mission (REM) for “violating the law against ‘spreading dangerous infectious diseases in humans.’”
“The investigation has and will continue to proceed according to the law, with guaranteed fairness and objectivity,” Thang wrote.
