Cuban Communist Party official tells evangelical
ministers it's immoral to accept contributions
from tourists
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, June 10 (Miguel D.
Tejeda, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- The head of the Religious Affairs department
of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party, Caridad Diego, told the more than
60 evangelical pastors and ministers present
at a meeting in Santa Clara on Tuesday that
it is "immoral" to accept contributions
from tourists.
These contributions, usually in dollars
or euros, make up a substantial part of
the revenue these churches depend on for
their maintenance and programs.
Last month, the local Catholic Church was
notified it could not continue distributing
free medicines to the population, as it
had been doing.
