We're on our way to Mogilev here in Belarus. After seeing castles and things yesterday, I was surprised that their biggest attractions here were only 500 years old. One must wonder whether it was all destroyed during WWII or if it could be attributed to something else.
There is still a strong communistic influence in the government and the pastor'a wife tells us that since churches tend to be filled with free thinkers, the government doesn't easily allow new churches to start.
We are careful not to post too much in the way of spiritual things on Facebook for fear of the government watching. We don't expect it, but the possibility remains, and none of us are gung-ho about the idea of going to prison here.
