In addition to other aspects of contemporary Moroccan history, the long shadow of Lyautey is cast over the history of religions in Morocco. Although Christianity disappeared after the introduction of Islam in the seventh century CE, various forms of Christianity have appeared throughout Morocco in the past two centuries. The main factor in the re-introduction of Christianity is the colonial legacy of the French protectorate. A few years ago, a Moroccan historian and a European priest joined forces to analyze the development of the Christian presence in Morocco from the mid-nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. Offering a periodization and interpretation of this history from prior to the protectorate in 1912 until well after independence in 1956, Baida and Feroldi's work (2005) serves as a starting point for re-examining the impact of the protectorate policies on the present day. Their study emphasizes the history of the Roman Catholic presence in Morocco and its adjustments through changing political circumstances. The Protestant communities are acknowledged but receive less attention. A critical assessment of their work combined with new research raises questions concerning the diverse facets of the Christian presence. In addition to the direct colonial legacy of the Roman Catholic church and its institutional presence, my research indicates a small but rich variety of Protestant communities have also established themselves in contemporary Morocco. The more visible of these communities are dominated by emigrants and expatriates of various sorts - diplomatic, business, touristic, migrants from other parts of Africa, etc.; however, there are also the far less visible Moroccan converts to Christianity. This diverse reality is not fully revealed in the 2005 study, thus raising questions for further investigation. What are the various forms of Christianity in Morocco today? What is the relationship between the colonial legacy of Lyautey and the dynamics of the contemporary situation? How has government policy during the protectorate and after independence shaped the development of this minority religious tradition? Based on interviews with Christians in Morocco and a variety of historical and contemporary sources, this paper is an attempt to identify the principal forms of Christianity in Morocco today, to consider their relation to the long shadow of Lyautey, and to assess the dynamics of Christian communities in contemporary Moroccan society.
