(Worthy News) – Ignoring calls to stop its attacks on houses of worship, the Burmese Army (Tatmadaw) in late November burned down a Baptist church and a Catholic church as part of an ongoing effort to destroy the Christian-majority town of Thantlang in Myanmar’s Chin state, International Christian Concern (ICC) reports.
Since carrying out a military coup on February 1, the Tatmadaw has been violently seeking to impose Buddhism as the only religion in Myanmar. Christian communities in the country have come under sustained attack, with hundreds of believers being murdered or displaced, and their homes and churches destroyed.
