Tightening of the screw

Increasing anti-Christian regulations worldwide provide a sharp reminder of our troubled times.

The Bulgarian Parliament has agreed not to pass into law prohibitive amendments to the nation’s Religious Denominations Act after thousands of Christians protested against a crackdown on the religious activity of minority religions.

The Bulgarian parliamentary Committee for Religion and Human Rights met on the 19th December 2018 to discuss changes to the Religious Denominations Act with representatives of minority religions, including members of the Bulgarian Evangelical Alliance. The final vote on the changes, without the severe amendments, took place two days later on 21st December.
