(RNS) A church and mosque in a French camp for migrants and refugees have been destroyed, despite authorities’ reportedly promising not to demolish the places of worship.
Bulldozers moved into the camp in Calais, the departure point for ferries to Great Britain, on Monday (February 1) and tore down the mosque, which reportedly drew up to 300 worshippers each day, and St. Michael’s Church, a makeshift chapel serving mainly Orthodox Ethiopian Christians.
