Christian worshipers have been forced to pray in the open air in a town in 
Indonesia's West Java province after the town's majority Muslim population 
opposed the building of a church.

After losing all legal battles, including a verdict from country's highest 
court, the mayor says he cannot allow a church to be built on a street with an 
Islamic name.

The national ombudsman has given the mayor two more weeks to implement the 
supreme court's decision and let the congregation build its church.

The standoff is being seen as a national test case of religious tolerance, with 
recent research showing a growing number of Muslims are against the presence of 
a church in their neighbourhood.
