Burmese man condemned for preaching Christianity to Buddhist novices
Here on KP we have a Russian Orthodox Church and a Christian Church I am not a churchgoer but I occasionally go to my local temple to make merit even though I am an Irish Christian Monks can walk the streets and offer prayers in return for food so I can’t understand why a Christian believer should cause upset by introducing Christianity to those who are undecided. I know a number of Thais who have become Christians. !
