The Christians Begin Again in China
Ten years ago the Chinese Church was in deepest night. Nearly all places of worship were closed and pastors were persecuted.
During the last four years dawn has broken. Over 1500 churches - Catholic and Protestant - have now reopened. The number of believers is higher than before the Revolution. But how widely is the government's new policy of freedom of worship being implemented? Why is the Vatican still regarded with suspicion? And how do Christians cope with living in a Communist-led state? Rosemary Hartill explores whether the shadows of the past have Bed.
