Two 'underground' parish priests in China's Gansu province have been removed after being accused of holding a summer camp for a youth group at their church.
F Wang Yiqin of Hui county and Fr Li Shidong of Leling in Shandong province were serving Maijiqu Ganquan Church in Tianshui Diocese, ucanews.com reported.
The Tianshui Municipal Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee sent a letter asking the local branch of the state-controlled Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association to send personnel to replace the priests, who were accused of holding the camp for the Bosco Youth Group at the church and sent back to their hometowns.
