Shocking! China bans children from attending church services

Authorities in China have placed a ban on children in the country attending church services.

The move is reportedly a bid to crack down on religion in the country, particularly Islam and Christianity.

Control on the country’s churches began several years ago when places of worship were ordered to remove crosses from their buildings in Zhejiang province.

According to Daily Mail, over one hundred churches in Wenzhou, China’s Zhejiang province were served a notice saying minors will not be allowed to enter churches.

The ban also prohibits children from attending religious sermons and other activities in several provinces across the country.
