Cross removed from Chinese church

The incident at Longgang Huai En Church in the city of Wenzhou happened early on Monday morning and is part of a continuing crackdown on Christianity.

The country is seeing a boom in the number of people turning to the faith.

It's reported police used a crane to remove the cross whilst around 200 people peacefully protested against the move.

Officials claim it violated planning rules because it was too high – the same reason that has seen around 130 churches threatened with demolition.

Church leaders claim the country is discriminating against the growing Christian community.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
