The dangers of not having a license for educational activity in Russia

Assist News Service has an interesting, but lengthy article on various legal procedures facing several churches and Bible schools in Russia. The common motif is that these churches allegedly operated an institution without a license. As many of our readers know, this has been a major concern of our seminary in Moscow throughout the past year.

The main item in the article was about how Methodist Church's Sunday School was deemed illegal educational activity. They, however, won their court case.

A second case involves one of a Church of God in Samara. They rented their facilities to an organization that taught classes on a Bible institute level. This case is still pending.

For more detail about these cases and others like them, follow this link.
