Where Christianity faces a fight to survive

You've probably heard of 'rice Christians'; people who, in the bad old days of British empire, notionally converted to Christianity to gain material benefits or to improve their econonmic position. This article starts by looking at what we might dub 'rice Muslims'. However, the article goes on to report the issue of conversions also to Christian faith in Pakistan, ending with this interesting titbit.

In Pakistan, conversion is technically legal but those who do convert are dubbed "apostates" and often killed. Christian officials describe a large community of "secret Christians" made up of some government officials and prominent people who have converted to Christianity.

I for one, will be praying for these secret believers.
