mulls Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Just pondering this...which country, as a whole, do you think best represents Christ? I've heard that America has over 90% of the world's Christian resources (churches, seminaries, schools, bibles, literature, etc), and I think we're still the biggest "sending" country as far as missionaries are concerned. But I wonder where we may rank on this scale due to the declination of Christian morals and the rise of liberal attitudes across the board, and where other countries may fit in. Thoughts please...

BurkeFan Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Uh... easy. The Vatican City-State (aka, Holy See) does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Obviously The Vatican City does, considering its the only True Christian Nation in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 The Vatican City If you meant a country other than the Vatican City, then I would say that the Christians of Sudan are perhaps the strongest, but that doesn't really answer the question because Sudan is Muslim-run. Andorra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelFilo Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Philipians. Most of the holiest people you'll ever meet do NOT live in predominantly Catholic countries. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulls Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 yea, answers that are not Vatican City would be more applicable here, thanks. and please explain your choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Ireland is pretty strong (92% Catholic, schools organized by parish, etc.), but I fear the liberalization of Europe may someday engulf it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelFilo Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Overall, hmm, it cannot be a muslim country then. You base your choice on America because of the numbers of people who are sent out as missionaries, but you forget, we are the most blessed. As far as the Catholic Church goes (you aren't Catholic, are you?), most missionaries are not American. I mean as far as people per a country goes (ie, America is X times bigger than a country, so naturally, it should send out X more missionaries). I'd say Ireland.
