For some years, Christmas in Indonesia is 'coloured' by the shadow of terrorism and bomb. This morning, when we arrived in the church, no vehicle was allowed to enter church's premises.
The 'given' reason: there was news that a terrorist entered our town last night. Police has swept the entire premises and after that, no vehicle is allowed in. But why didn't they make us walk through a metal detector?
During the sermon, there was an interference from the police's radio communication into our sound system. For a split second I thought the police were in front of our church, informing that indeed something had 'happened'.
Later I realised, this is a standard operational procedure -- they just want to make sure nothing happens. Perhaps I watched too many movies.:D
