People of all religious faiths in the Henan province located in the People’s Republic of China, must complete an online form and receive approval to attend worship services.
If religious believers want to attend services in churches, mosques, or Buddhist temples, they must make online reservations through an application called “Smart Religion,” developed by the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission of Henan Province, according to the religious freedom watchdog China Aid.
International Religious Freedom Summit Co-Chair Sam Brownback tells CBN News, “Now they’re even requiring people to register on their phones to be able to go to church. Well, that’s so they can track them and shut the places down.”
