Protestant fellowship to be deregistered?

Keston Institute (07.11.2001)/ HRWF International Secretariat (07.11.2001) - Website: www.hrwf.net / Email: info@hrwf.net - A group of independent Protestant congregations, known as the Christian Fellowships, have been warned by the Interior Ministry that they will lose registration as a civil association if they do not change their statute to exclude religious activity. The group cannot obtain registration with the Culture Ministry as a religious organisation, as it does not have the 20,000 members required by law to apply for such status. The head of the Christian Fellowships' board of pastors told Keston News Service that if they lose their registration they would have difficulty renting rooms or holding public meetings.
