Spiritual Climate of Philippines
There is freedom of religion, but the Catholic Church wields enormous influence. There are very large charismatic movements within the Catholic Church, but large numbers of Catholics are more influenced by animism and witchcraft than by Christianity. Filipino Evangelicals have multiplied, and the Filipino Church is becoming a significant missionary-sending church.
