The Times reports that China is set to become the most Christian country in the world, according to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams.
Dr Williams described a "surprising" numerical expansion of Christianity in China, and also indicated there was no systematic persecution of Christians in a country once overtly hostile to any expression of religious belief.
Dr Williams said: "While there may not be systematic persecution of Christians or churches, or indeed of other religious bodies apart from certain designated sects in China, there is a situation of endemic uncertainty about what religious bodies may expect from the government."
He continued: "China is well on the way to becoming... the most heavily christianly populated country in the globe."
