The World Council of Churches and All Africa Conference of Churches have condemned the destruction of a church in Sudan.
The Episcopal Parish Church of Saint John, Haj Yousif, in Khartoum was reportedly demolished on 18 June on the orders of Sudanese government officials.
The WCC and AACC have denounced the action as the latest in a series of "calculated attacks" on minority communities and Christians in particular.
On 21 April, the Sudan Evangelical Church Bible School in Khartoum was destroyed and books including the Bible set on fire in full view of the police.
Two days later, security forces occupied the premises of the Sudan Council of Churches and Sudan Aid in Nyala, Darfur, and confiscated property.
The WCC and AACC warned that Christians of Muslim background were being targetted and dispossessed of their property and their spouses.
