Antigua and Barbuda are made up of three small islands in the Caribbean. The economy is tourism, the people are mostly African Caribbean. It was a British colony for 349 years before gaining its independence in 1981. They have complete freedom of religion, which is comprised of almost all Christian Protestant. Though small, they face similar issues that many of us have here in the U.S. There is complacency, moral and spiritual challenges, and strong ties to money laundering, drug dealing, violence and gambling.

Only Romania remains at almost 100% Christian, which is mostly Eastern Orthodox. Europe once held the world’s dominant economy from the time of the Middle Ages until the two World Wars of the 20th century, and they are now beginning to see the long-term effects from the Enlightenment Period, Socialism, Marxism, Nazism, secularism, liberal church doctrine, and scandals in the Catholic church and Church of England.
