Two pastors in Russia were recently fined for holding a worship service in
public.
Todd Nettleton, a spokesman with
Voice of the Martyrs,
wonders if this situation is the beginning of an unfavorable
sequence.
"It' hard to know if this is part of a pattern [or] if this is
an isolated incident," he speculates. "It's one of those things where you watch
what happens... and then you see [if] there [is] more coming. We do know the
Russian government has exercised a little more control or a little more
oversight over the church in recent months." (

(This sounds like the old USSR. We need to watch this and pray for the people of faith in Russia.)
