It may come as a surprise to some visitors to Amman to see big new churches in the city but in fact about 6% of Jordan's population is Christian. The majority live in Amman, and nearby Madaba, with smaller congregations in Kerak and Salt and the country's Constitution guarantees their right to worship openly and freely.
The majority of Christians belong to the Greek Orthodox Church and there are no less than 6 Greek Orthodox churches in Amman, but there are also Greek and Roman Catholic communities, Syrian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox and, among the non-Arabs, Armenian Orthodox and Catholics. Land has recently been granted to the Maronite community to build a new church in the city.
