Christianity in Algeria: Walking a Fine Line | EWTN News

Algeria is a Muslim-majority country where Christians make up only a tiny fraction of the population, and Catholics represent an even smaller minority within that community. In this EWTN News documentary, Colm Flynn travels across Algeria’s major cities to meet leading figures in the Catholic Church and explore the complex history of a land that produced one of the greatest minds of our Church, St. Augustine. What was once a powerful centre of Christianity in the Roman Empire is today a predominantly Muslim nation, where the Church must walk a delicate line - remaining present to serve its faithful while avoiding any perception of evangelisation or conversion. Filmed in Annaba, Constantine, Oran, and the capital Algiers, this documentary offers a rare insight into the daily realities faced by Christians in Algeria - challenges and tensions that most of us never encounter.
