Hong Kong protest continues with worship
There has been days of demonstrations in the city over a planned extradition bill that would have allowed suspects to be extradited from Hong Kong to mainland China.
Hong Kong’s leader Carrie Lam on Sunday apologised for proposing the bill which has since been suspended but the unrest has grown with protesters demanding she resigns.
Karen Chu is a Christian and a student at Hong Kong University.
She told Premier that many Christians have been involved with the demonstrations.
“I actually haven’t gone out to protests at all, just because for me I decided that I want to just pray in my own time and in my own space, but there has been a lot of Christians that went to protest, which…I guess has not been seen before,” she explained.
“Hong Kong Christians have always been criticised as people who don’t care about politics, or people who don’t speak out about it – which I don’t agree with.”
You seen what’s happening in #HongKong? The unofficial anthem of the vast crowds protesting against new extradition laws is ‘Sing halelujah to the Lord’. One newspaper says it feels more like a vast prayer meeting than a political protest. Maybe its both #prayforHK

Bombers Target Church in Sweden for the Second Time
A Syrian Orthodox church in Sweden was targeted by bombers for the second time last week.
According to Summit News, a bomb went off inside of a building adjacent to St. Afrem Church in Södertälje, Sweden last week around 3:00 am.
The building was being used as a rental space for events and parties.
According to CBN News, police were alerted of the bombing after nearby residents heard loud explosions.
Reportedly, this is the second time in recent months that this church – which is located in an area that is highly populated by Muslim refugees – has been targeted.
According to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe – a not-for-profit persecution watchdog – St. Afrem was first targeted last September when the banquet hall which was often rented from the church for events was bombed. No injuries occurred as a result of the explosion since the hall was empty at the time.
The National Bomb Guard is investigating the most recent bombing, but police are already speculating that there is “a motive against the church.”
Authorities believe that the investigation will be difficult since suspects typically swiftly flee from scenes where bombings are committed.
According to Summit News, Sweden received a high percentage of refugees in their country of the past few years. Particularly in Södertälje, more than 50 percent of the…

Israel Folau in fresh controversy following sermon
The former Australian rugby player was fired from the sport earlier this year after a comment on social media saying ‘hell awaits adulterers, drunks and homosexuals.’
Speaking to members of Sydney’s Truth of Jesus Christ Church on Sunday, Folau addressed the issue of children having the freedom to change gender as an example.
He said: “You see in today’s youths and everything, they are allowing young kids in primary school to be able to have the permission to change their gender if they want to by taking away the permission of their parents.
“Now they are trying to take control as a government to make those decisions for young kids who are basically 16 years old or younger, they don’t even know what they are doing.
“This is what the devil is trying to do, to instill into the government, into this world, into society, and it is slowly happening.”
Folau is currently in the process of suing bosses at Rugby Australia on the grounds of religious discrimination.
