Myanmar: Pagodas being built on church lands

In the face of a campaign by a Buddhist monk to build pagodas on church property, Christians in Myanmar have decided to turn the other cheek.

According to Morning Star News, U Thuzana and his supporters built a Buddhist pagoda on Anglican property in Kun Taw Gyi village, Karen state, on April 23. It was the third pagoda the monk has erected on church lands.

Bishop Saw Stylo of St. Mark's Anglican Church -- where the pagoda was built -- said Christian leaders didn't want to further inflame religious and ethnic conflicts in a country seeking national reconciliation. (Courtesy of worthynews.com)
