About Switzerland

About Switzerland

Switzerland is officially the Swiss Confederation composed of 26 cantons. It’s a landlocked country bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. It is geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura.

The Swiss population is approximately 8.5 million and many live in the largest cities Zürich and Geneva.

Since the Reformation of the 16th century, Switzerland has maintained a strong policy of armed neutrality; it has not fought an international war since 1815 and did not join the United Nations until 2002. Switzerland is the birthplace of the Red Cross, one of the world's oldest and best known humanitarian organisations.

Switzerland occupies a crossroads, as reflected in its four main linguistic and cultural regions: German, French, Italian and Romansh. The majority of the population are German-speaking. But due to its linguistic diversity, Switzerland is known by a variety of native names: Schweiz (German);Suisse (French); Svizzera (Italian); and Svizra (Romansh). On coins and stamps, the Latin name, Confoederatio Helvetica – frequently shortened to "Helvetia" – is used instead of the four national languages.

Switzerland is one of the most developed countries in the world, with the highest nominal wealth per adult and the eighth-highest per capita gross domestic product.

Switzerland has no official state religion. Christianity is the predominant religion of Switzerland (about 68% of resident population in 2016 and 75% of Swiss citizens, divided between the Roman Catholic Church (37.2% of the population), the Swiss Reformed Church (25.0%), further Protestant churches (2.2%), Eastern Orthodoxy (around 2%), and other Christian denominations (1.3%). Immigration has established Islam (5.1%) as a sizeable minority religion.

Pray with us for:

–the Swiss may find the true way in Jesus Christ and that the nation might be stirred again by the Holy Spirit.

–renewed lives among Reformed churches.

–witness among the Catholic cantons.

–young people drifting away from the Church.

–continued Swiss commitment to world mission.

–the less-evangelised peoples. Geneva is 45% non-Swiss! Pray for the  agencies and churches committed to ministry among them.
