【CED】 Cambodia and the Persecuted Church
Since its entry into the country in the 16th century, Christianity has possessed a lengthy, though intermittent, history in Cambodia, with its character distinctly molded by a multifaceted interaction of external influences, namely missionaries, episodes of severe persecution, particularly under the Pol Pot regime, and the modern problems of syncretism and secularism in a post-conflict context. However, the Christian population is growing rapidly, with some estimates exceeding twenty percent annually. Although Cambodia’s political and cultural constraints limit its growth, Christians—mostly Protestant—comprise an estimated three percent of the population.
