A dispute which has seen a Protestant church in Indonesia sealed off for the past nine years will be resolved by the end of the year, according to the local mayor where it is located. The mayor of Bogor in West Java province has assured members of the Yasmin Indonesian Christian Church that a final resolution to the dispute is close at hand. The dispute centres around a building permit that was cancelled in 2011 in defiance of Supreme Court and Ombudsman rulings that said the church was legal. Revocation of the permit came after the mayor at the time bowed to pressure in 2010 from hard-line Muslims who wanted the church torn down, church members say.
