Seventeen evangelical churches in Barcelona face threat of closure

At least 17 evangelical churches in Barcelona face the threat of closure because of the urban development plans of the local government. Some have already been notified by the local authorities of the need to relocate in the face of imminent closure. Others were informed at a meeting recently held by the Consell Evangèlic de Catalunya (Evangelical Council of Catalonia, CEC), which has expressed its concern about a decision that “could leave thousands of believers without a place of worship”.
