A Christian group closed Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre church

A group of Christian leaders have closed the famous Church of the Holy Sepulchre in protest of Israeli taxation and land policy 

The leaders voiced consternation with plans to tax church assets that are considered to be commercial.

"As a measure of protest, we decided to take this unprecedented step of closure of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre," the statement said. It added that the tax changes appeared to be "an attempt to weaken the Christian presence in Jerusalem."
