(Worthy News) – Authorities in the north African nation of Algeria are closing churches in an attempt to curtail the activities of minority Christians in this Muslim-majority nation.
In the past several months, three congregations associated with the Protestant Church of Algeria were shut down after authorities allege the structures didn’t meet certain building safety codes.
