     Vandalism on Western Indonesia Protestant Church "Cahaya Kasih" - 
     branch "Silo" and the Pastor's resident .
     
     As the elders of  Western Indonesia Protestant Church "Cahaya 
     Kasih",  
     
     
     1. We ask  the Director General of Community Guidance for 
     Christian Protestant - Department of Religious Affair to ask the 
     government to inform the public regarding this vandalizing, 
     looting, torturing, and stealing actions, so that the public will 
     clearly understand the problems. This is to avoid any issues that 
     will turn the fact against, and will corner, the victims. And most 
     importantly to prevent such criminal actions to reoccur.
     
     2. We ask for a justice  according to the law of our country.
     
     3. As a Christian we ask for a legal protections so that the 
     Christians in our region can securely do their worship.
     
     
     
     Sincerely,
     
     Pastor & Elders of
     Western Indonesia Protestant Church "Cahaya Kasih"
