Romania is still working to overcome the physical, economic, and emotional damages brought about by 42 years of oppressive totalitarian rule. Much-needed economic reforms were slow to be implemented. Motivation to join the European Union accelerated many changes but corruption and economic problems persist and have left many frustrated. An estimated 25% of Romania's 22 million people live below the poverty line. Romanians claim to be Christian but little evidence is seen in their lifestyles. Romania has one of the highest abortion rates in the world and difficulties from drug abuse, prostitution and pornography reflect the emotional state of many. The church is Eastern Orthodox, which discriminates against other Christian churches. However, Romania has the fourth-largest growing evangelical population in Europe. An increase in materialism, devotion to tradition and lack of unity in denominations and churches has not stopped a growing receptivity to Jesus Christ in Romania.
