Church demolished by suspected radicals in Southern India
A church was demolished by suspected radical Hindu nationalist in a village called Kongalnagaram, located in India’s Tamil Nadu state. According to local Christians, the church was completely destroyed after the radicals vandalized three cars parked in front of the church building.
Pastor Nallamuthu Samuel, head pastor of Grace Gospel Church, explained that a mob of nearly 30 individuals attacked the church at around midnight on January 1, 2020. Three church members, who were sleeping inside the church, were awoken when the mob began smashing the widows of the three cars parked in front of the church. According to local Christians, the three Christians quickly fled the mob, fearing for their lives.
According to Pastor Samuel, he was confronted by five radicals earlier that same day. “Five people came to the church and threatened me to close down the church and leave the village,”
After damaging the three cars, the radicals turned their fury upon Grace Gospel Church. As a result, some $3,500.00 in damage was done to the church building in addition to the damage to the cars.
