Communist authorities destroyed a 3,000-seat megachurch in November, using a large excavator to tear apart the building as mem-bers and citizens watched helplessly.
The huge building was located in the province of Anhui, which is situated in the eastern part of the country and has about 60 million residents. The congregation was part of China’s officially recognised network of churches. It was reported that communist officials lacked the proper legal paperwork to order the destruction.
A video shows the excavator pulling the building apart, as pieces of concrete tumble into a pile of rubble on the ground.
