Pentecostals in Cuba vow to defend their
modest church
HAVANA, Cuba, February 16 (Amarilys Cortina
Rey, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - Members
of a Pentecostal congregation in Managua,
on the outskirts of Havana, said they are
willing to "let the roof of their church
fall on them" if the government follows
through with its order to demolish the structure
which, it alleges, was built illegally.
A roof resting on columns is indeed just
about all the church consists of; a floor
and a pulpit complete the picture, all built
more than five years ago on the backyard
of the pastor's home. Members of the congregation
say they have been worshiping at that location
for more than 14 years.
Last Monday, municipal housing inspector
Mabel Despaigne imposed a 600 pesos fine
on the Rev. Ernesto Oliva, the pastor of
the Light of God Pentecostal church and
owner of the property on which the structure
is built.
