Christianity in Shandong

Christianity is a minority in Shandong province of China. Christianity in Henan, Christianity in Anhui and Christianity in Jiangsu are other major provincial Christian populations.[1] Cheeloo University is defunct. St. Michael's Cathedral, Qingdao and Sacred Heart Cathedral (Jinan) are churches of European style. Another European-style church is due to be built in Qufu, where Confucius originated. [2] This idea was or is opposed by Confucianist groups. [3] Shandong has persecution of Christians.[4] In 2007, 270 Christian leaders were arrested in Shandong at a raid. [5]
