South Africa
Spiritual Climate of South Africa
The former infamous "apartheid" system politically and economically marginalized non-whites and brought untold pain and suffering to the majority. Christianity has grown in influence despite the post-Christian moral slide in society and the escalating crime level. Muslims exercise an influence far greater than their numbers with many holding high office in the government.
