From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christianity is a minority in Jilin, a province of China. St. Theresa's Cathedral and Changchun Christian Church exist in Changchun. Kim-Jong-il visited a Catholic church in the province in 2010.[1] There were raids against many house churches of Jilin in 2005.[2] At least 600 were arrested.[2] The province has hundreds of thousands of Protestants.[3] The number of Protestants decidedly exceeds that of the Catholics.[3] It has occurred, that churches in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture have been shut down.[3] Jilin City has a Catholic church built after Gothic models.[4]
