The course was the first of its kind held in Dak Nong province.
Pastor R. Mah Loan said from Bu Dak village in Thuan An commune, the graduates will then go to ethnic minority areas to help local people understand State laws relating to religions while practising Protestanism.

According to the provincial board responsible for religion-related affairs, a similar course will be held for about 30 people aimed at creating favourable conditions for ethnic minority people to practise their faith.
