Local Pressure Prevents Church Construction in Indonesia
Source excerpt
The controversy surrounding the construction of the Toraja Church house of worship in the Sungai Keledang area of Samarinda Seberang District, in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, remains unresolved. All administrative and technical requirements for the construction of the house of worship were submitted in 2025 and declared complete. However, to date, the local government has not issued a building permit due to opposition from some community groups. The congregation believes the Samarinda City Government has engaged in discriminatory practices, leading to allegations of maladministration in the issuance of the building permit.
