==Historical Background== | |||
According to the 2012 census, approximately 72.1% of Gibraltarians are '''Roman Catholics'''. Other Christian denominations include the '''Church of England (Anglican)''' (7.7%), whose Cathedral of the Holy Trinity is the cathedral of the Anglican Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe; the Gibraltar '''Methodist''' Church, '''Church of Scotland''', various '''Pentecostal''' and independent churches mostly influenced by the House Church and Charismatic movements, as well as a Plymouth Brethren congregation. Several of these congregations are represented by the Gibraltar Evangelical Alliance. There is also a ward of '''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints''', and two congregations of '''Jehovah's Witnesses'''.<ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Gibraltar", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar, accessed 6 April 2020. </ref> | |||
