Liechtenstein
The country of Liechtenstein was officially formed in 1719, when the counties of Vaduz and Schellenberg consolidated under the house of Liechtenstein. Over the next two centuries, Liechtenstein allied itself with the powerful Habsburg monarchy in Austria. After World War I, the Habsburg monarch was abolished and Liechtenstein formed a connection with Switzerland that continues today.
The Movement Today
Roman Catholics make up about 80 percent of the population, while Protestants comprise only about seven percent. Unfortunately, the Assemblies of God have no presence in Liechtenstein.
