| Algeria home to 4000 Christians |
| 2007-10-15 |
| A recent Roman Catholic ChurchÂ’s survey mentioned that Algeria and Yemen are the countries where the number of catholic Christians and the volume of associationsÂ’ social and educational activities are the lowest in the Arab world. The survey said that the number of Christians in Algeria and Yemen is about 4 thousands each, which is far away from that provided by the latest US DOS report on religious freedom in Algeria. The same report, issued by Vatican Library of which the Palestinian Alquds Alarabi magazine reported a summary, mentioned that the number of baptised Christians in the Arab World reached 8.7 millions. The Vatican report added that Sudan embraces the majority of them with 2.4 ms; Lebanon comes second with 860 thousands; and Saudi Arabia third with 801 thousands. |
