Several difficulties have been faced by Christianity in Sri Lanka, including prejudice and persecution from the Buddhist majority, which has long dominated the island. Particularly in recent years, there have been a number of violent and intimidating occurrences involving Christians, and some Christian groups have seen limitations on their freedom to practice their religion.
Many Christians in Sri Lanka continue to be involved in their communities despite these difficulties, offering social and educational services and fighting for religious liberty and human rights. Several Christians participate in interfaith projects and interact with religious leaders in Sri Lanka, as Christian churches continue to play a significant role in the social, cultural, and political landscape of the island nation.
