Religious center to be built next year

JAKARTA: The city administration will start the construction
of a religious center on Jl. KS Tubun, Central Jakarta, next
year, an official said.

The assistant to the city secretary for people's welfare
Rohana Manggala said that the center would cater to activities of
the five religions recognized by the state: Islam, Catholicism,
Protestantism, Hinduism and Buddhism.

"Currently we're in the process of land acquisition," she was
quoted as saying on Tuesday by the city's official news portal
Beritajakarta.com.

The religious center will be a three-story building where the
offices of religious figures of the five religions would be among
those occupying it, according to Rohana. -- JP
