worship service on Sunday (13/5) morning, Reverend Rense said that the event
was very disturbing and disturbing the harmony of life among religious
communities that have been going well for this.

“However, church residents,

full trust and support to law enforcement officials in handling terrorism
cases,” said the synod leader of the largest church denomination in

especially the security apparatus, to immediately reveal the case of the
bombing that killed the worshiping church people and arrested and punished them
fairly.
