URK, NETHERLANDS (Worthy News)–- 'A Dutch town known for its traditional churches and fishing community has forbidden an evangelism tent campaign, a move Christian Democrats say further threatens freedom of religion in the Netherlands.

NBC has been holding annual evangelism meetings in a circus tent in Urk, 85 kilometers north east of Amsterdam, as part of a tour through the Netherlands.'I am profoundly suspicious!
