indonesian_open Kong Hu Cu - the 6th official religion in Indonesia

[R.Machali]

Dear all,
fyi

An excerpt from http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/71341.htm

"The Ministry of Religious Affairs extends official status to six 
faiths: Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and as 
of January 2006, Confucianism. In previous years, the ministry did 
not offer services to Confucianism. Religious organizations other 
than the six recognized faiths can register with the Government, but 
only with the Ministry for Culture and Tourism and only as social 
organizations. This restricts certain religious activities. 
Unregistered religious groups do not have the right to establish a 
house of worship and have administrative difficulties with identity 
cards and registering marriages and births. "
