MIDLAND, TX. (AP) – 50 members of a Beijing church were detained Sunday and its leaders were kept under house arrest. China Aid’s president, the Rev. Bob Fu, says the detentions follow hundreds of arrests of members of the unregistered Shouwang (shoh-WAHNG’) Church on the previous Sunday. Shouwang’s congregation bought a building for their worship, but Chinese officials wouldn’t give them the key. They rented space in a Beijing restaurant until the government got them evicted. The arrests these past two Sundays came as the congregation tried to worship outdoors. Fu says the Shouwang Church has tried to legally register for two years, but its application has been rejected because it won’t join the government-controlled church.
