Two ‘die at Mozambique church opening’

Brilliant, simply brilliant! No one ever accused the highly religious of having much in the way of brains, and by the way, why didn’t God intervene and save these people’s lives? After all, they were there to worship him. TGO

MAPUTO (AFP) – Two people suffocated to death in a crowd of 10,000 at the weekend opening of a new church building in the Mozambican capital Maputo, state media reported Monday.

The two died Sunday as the throng pressed to enter the building — designed to hold 3,000 — for the inaugural sermon in the new Universal Church of the Reign of God, reported Noticias newspaper. Countless others fainted.

The Brazilian-based evangelical church is increasingly popular in Africa and particularly in Mozambique, where the traditional influence of the Catholic Church is declining.
