Professor Raffaella Di Marzio: The Church of Almighty God—A Peaceful Home for the Soul

In recent years, as the authorities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has escalated its persecution of religious freedom, some Christians from The Church of Almighty God (CAG) were forced to escape from China to seek asylum in democratic countries overseas. When these Christians settled down in the countries that allow religious beliefs, they were given free space to create video works. Various video works independently produced by these CAG Christians are attractive to more and more people. Dr. Raffaella Di Marzio, director of the Center for Studies on Freedom of Religion, Belief and Conscience (LIREC) in Italy, also a professor, social activist and psychologist, who has acquainted herself with CAG Christians and its video works, is deeply moved by the movie Where Is My Home in particular.

Even officially-run Three-Self churches and crosses have been demolished in large numbers. Christians have been arrested, sentenced, and jailed in large numbers, and some have even been beaten to death.
