Benefits for Christians should be made available to Pentecostals as well: Karnataka church leaders

Pentecostal church leaders have demanded that the benefits enjoyed by Christians in Karnataka be made available to the Pentecostal church community as well. This demand was raised at a joint conference of Pentecostal church leaders held at the Victory International Worship Center, Chiranjeevi Layout, Hebbal under the leadership of the Bangalore Christian Press Association (BCPA).

The church leaders commented at the meeting that the benefits enjoyed by minorities are not only available to the Pentecostal community and that for this, everyone, regardless of church differences, should stand together and achieve their rights.
