The Current State of Christianity in the Persian Gulf Countries


This blog has readers from eighty-seven countries including several located in the Persian Gulf area.  The article here discusses the current state of Christianity in these nations.

"Paradoxes of our time. It is at least three decades that the land which gave birth to Islam and the Prophet is top on the chart of the areas in the world where Christianity is at its maximum increase. However, it is not an increase due to conversions. In these lands the possibility to embrace the Christian faith still continues to be illegal. The increase finds its origins in a massive migration flow which concerns all the countries of the Gulf." Giuseppe Caffulli, Director of Reviews and the Website of the Custody of the Holy Land, from a 2010 article from the Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
