Blocked by police, GKI Yasmin Christmas mass moves house

Dozens of members of the Indonesia Christian Church (GKI ) Yasmin joined a Christmas mass in a house at Taman Yasmin Housing complex in Bogor, West Java, on Sunday.

They moved the mass to the house after police banned them from organizing the mass in their nearby sealed church.

Hundreds of police officers closed access to the church on Jl. KH Muhammmad Nuh.

While a handful of protesters staged a rally protesting the church, several inter-faith activists and public figures joined the mass, including singer Glenn Fredly, legislator Lily Wahid and Innayah Wahid, the youngest daughter of former president Abdurrahman Wahid.
