A mob of more than 300 villagers surrounded the pastor of the Assemblies of God Church in Angunukolapalassa on Christmas Eve, as Buddhist monks demanded that he cancel services scheduled for Christmas day. Some of the villagers said one of the monks had filed a complaint with police about the pastor’s church activities, but the pastor refused to cancel Christmas services. In Hikkaduwa, attackers threw firecrackers onto the property of another Assemblies of God Church and at the pastor’s residence. And later, attackers threw stones at the Light House Church in Hikkaduwa, breaking some of the windows.
