Yes, There Are Christians

Published by

This is Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

I remember giving a talk at the local public library, and I showed some images. One person in the audience suddenly exclaimed, “So wait, are you saying there are Christians in Ukraine???”

I explained that Kyiv converted to Christianity in 988. I even had to write it on the board in a gigantic script, so people would process the figure. Then I talked about the persecution of Christianity in the USSR, and everybody was even more stunned.

    Why would anyone think there aren’t Christians in Ukraine? This is something I’ve known since I was a kid reading juvenile geography books from the library. Do they think non-Americans don’t practice Christianity, I can understand being surprised that some African people are Christians but that’s weird someone thought a European people weren’t Christian

      Some Americans think it bizarre that people in England should speak English.
