Christianity in Shanxi

Christianity is a minority in Shanxi province of the People's Republic of China. The Shouters are present in the province.[1] The number of Protestants was 30,000 in 1949.[2] It is much larger now.[3] Liuhecun is a village with a Catholic majority. [4] It has relatively large freedom.[5] Christianity in Xi'an is a major population. During the Boxer Rebellion, 9000 Catholics, including three bishops (Gregor Grassi, Franz Fogolla and Antonin Fantosati), were killed. [6] The province has more Catholics than Buddhists. [7]

The province has a house church network with 50,000 adherents. [8] 10 leading figures have been sentenced in 2009. [9]
