Capuchin monks were given permission by the Malla ruler to reside in the Kathmandu valley in 1715, but they were forced to leave in 1769. For almost two centuries Nepal was totally closed to any Christian presence. The revolution in 1951 was a turning point in the country's development and its openness to the outside world. From just a single secret Christian residing in Nepal in 1951, the number of Nepali Christians grew to 40,000 baptized believers in 1990 and increased more rapidly since then. The most comprehensive survey of churches and Christians in Nepal was conducted by the Nepal Research and Resource Network. Begun in 2001 with result published in 2007, the survey showed a total of 2,799 churches and 274,462 baptized church members (1.5% of Nepal's population). Protestant missions began the Eastern Hymalayan Mission in 1870; another group was the Australian Nepalese Mission (ANM) which began its Nepalese activity in 1917 near Nepal Border, at Bihar. A third group was the Regions Beyond Missionary Union, along with the Raxaul Medical Mission; both worked in Bihar. When King Tribhuvan opened Nepal's borders in 1951, three different missionary groups converged to contribute to the formation of the Church in Nepal. The first group was conducted by a Jesuit priest previously working in Patna, who established St. Xavier's school on the edge of the Kathmandu Valley in 1951. In 1952 the Evangelists established an hospital in Pokhara, the ' Shining Hospital'. The United Mission to Nepal came about in 1954. At the end of the 1950s there were persecutions against Christians. In the 1960s Government restrictions ensured that church and mission remained officially distinct and that evangelistic activity was done only by Nepalis. From 1990 the Constitution allows freedom of faith [comprimi]
