Who are Greenland's Christians?
Luke Randall
It’s the largest island in the world (excluding Australia) – yet a country with one of the smallest populations. It’s also a land which is nominally 96.6% Christian – but where the Evangelical witness is small. As Greenland unexpectedly hits the news in 2026 with President Trump vowing to “get” the nation one way or another, en looks into the spiritual landscape of this beautiful land.
Christianity has had a presence in Greenland since the 1000s, when Norse settlers first brought it to the territory. It has since become a noteworthy part of its culture, predominantly in the form of Lutheranism.
Trump, Naboth & Greenland
The world continues to be in ferment. Words written about events one moment can be immediately superseded by new developments the next. Often today such rapid changes in the news seem to revolve around the President of the US, Donald J Trump.
Among many other examples of an often Trump-centred world in flux, few would have predicted a short while ago that one of the countries making news in 2026 would be Greenland. Such is the unpredictable era in which we live.
