Cambodia Bans Evangelism; Accuses Christians of 'Disrupting Society'

Christians in Buddhist-dominated Cambodia are officially banned from evangelising because they “disrupt society,” officials said Tuesday.

Cambodia’s Ministry of Cults and Religions declared that “Christians are prohibited from visiting people’s houses by knocking on the door and waiting to say ‘the Lord has arrived,’” in a directive, according to Agence France-Presse.

In addition, Christians are restricted to only distributing religious literatures in churches. Moreover, the ministry demands that it authorise the construction of a church before it is built.

“They can do any activity inside their institutions, but are not allowed to go door-to-door,” said Sun Kim Hun, deputy minister of cult and religion, according to The Associated Press.
