Thanks to her initiative and judgment, we find our hopes happily realized. Within the duties we retained, of liaison with the author abroad and our own Church here, a key role was played, up to his death in November 1995, by the Rev. Leslie Fairfield. He was a leader in calling on former Episcopal missionaries like us to fill out the history of pre-1950 work in China. We owe particular gratitude to the Church Missions Publishing Company of the Diocese of Connecticut for covering incidental costs of this edition. Inquiries as to additional copies should be referred to Charles Long. Paul L. Ward Charles H. Long 1 Editor's foreword For more than twenty years, G.F.S. Gray was a part of the history of the Anglican Church in China. He served under the Church Missionary Society in Guilin, Guangxi Province during the early 1930s, then taught at Central Theological School in Nanjing. Later years brought him to other areas of China, including Beijing and Wuchang, where he served under the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the American Church Mission respectively. The length and breadth of Gray's personal involvement with the Anglican Church in China have given him the perspective and the passionate interest needed to sustain the years of research and writing that stand behind his manuscript "Anglicans in China: A History of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Huei." This manuscript, running to more than 250 single-spaced typed pages, is based on both English and Chinese sources documenting the Anglican effort in China and its context. In addition to printed sources, Gray had extensive discussions with Chinese Church leaders and personal memories upon which to draw. Even the compilation of the bibliography and indices for this manuscript was a noteworthy task, and from the many and varied strands of his sources Gray has woven the basic fabric of a comprehensive history of the Anglican Church in China. One can hope that the factual fabric presented in Gray's work will serve as a base for more intricate designs documenting various dimensions of the Anglican Church in China and the people who formed it. Full, if rather poor quality, photocopies of the original typescript of Gray's work, annotated in his aged handwriting, are available in the Special Collections Department of the Yale Divinity School Library and at the Episcopal Church Archives in Austin, Texas. Unable to find a publisher for his work, Francis Gray deposited a copy of the manuscript at Lambeth Place Library in London, and provided a copy to his friend Paul Ward for deposit in the United States. At the instigation of Paul Ward, Leslie Fairfield, and Charles Long, this condensed version of Gray's massive manuscript has been prepared in order to make his work more widely available. It should be noted that a great many more facts and details are included in Gray's full manuscript than could be included in this condensed version. While editing and condensing Gray's work, I have attempted to retain the "flavour" of his writing, as well as his British spelling conventions. Changing methods of romanization of the Chinese language lead to considerable complications in an historical work such as this. Gray was aware of the trend toward pinyin romanization and had begun to annotate his manuscript with alternate spellings for geographic and personal names. Given Gray's hope that his work would be for the benefit of Chinese Christians as much as for Westerners interested in Chinese Christianity, it seemed best to utilize modern conventions of spelling for the context of the story, so whenever it has been possible to locate the pinyin spelling of a Chinese geographic name in text elsewhere, pinyin has been used. However, names of individuals and place names not located in a current atlas remain as Gray had spelled them in his original text. Chinese characters are provided for all Chinese names indexed in this condensed text (primarily names mentioned more than once). The index to this volume is very brief. More extensive indices of geographic names, and Western and Chinese personal names are included in Gray's original manuscript; these have additional Chinese characters provided in Gray's (sometimes indecipherable) handwriting. The facts presented by Gray in his work are largely unfootnoted

  • Chinese Catholic Nuns and the Organization of Religious Life in Contemporary China
    religions Article Chinese Catholic Nuns and the Organization of Religious Life in Contemporary China Michel Chambon Anthropology Department, Hanover College, Hanover, IN 47243, USA; [email protected] Received: 25 June 2019; Accepted: 19 July 2019; Published: 23 July 2019 Abstract: This article explores the evolution of female religious life within the Catholic Church in China today. Through ethnographic observation, it establishes a spectrum of practices between two main traditions, namely the antique beatas and the modern missionary congregations. The article argues that Chinese nuns create forms of religious life that are quite distinct from more universal Catholic standards: their congregations are always diocesan and involved in multiple forms of apostolate. Despite the little attention they receive, Chinese nuns demonstrate how Chinese Catholics are creative in their appropriation of Christian traditions and their response to social and economic changes. Keywords: christianity in China; catholicism; religious life; gender studies Surveys from 2015 suggest that in the People’s Republic of China, there are 3170 Catholic religious women who belong to 87 registered religious congregations, while 1400 women belong to 37 unregistered ones.1 Thus, there are approximately 4570 Catholics nuns in China, for a general Catholic population that fluctuates between eight to ten million. However, little is known about these women and their forms of religious life, the challenges of their lifestyle, and their current difficulties. Who are those women? How does their religious life manifest and evolve within a rapidly changing Chinese society? What do they tell us about the Catholic Church in China? This paper explores the various forms of religious life in Catholic China to understand how Chinese women appropriate and translate Catholic religious ideals.

    EVANGELICAL REVIEW OF THEOLOGY VOLUME 14 Volume 14 • Number 2 • April 1990 Evangelical Review of Theology WORLD EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP Theological Commission p. 99 The Doctrine of Regeneration in the Second Century Victor K. Downing Printed with permission Having been raised within the evangelical community since birth, and having ‘gone forward’ at a Billy Graham crusade at the age of nine, there has never been any question in my mind as to what it means to be ‘born again’. However, since having begun to dabble in historical theology, the question has often occurred to me: ‘I wonder if Ignatius or Justin or Irenaeus understood John 3:7 as I understand it, and if not, why not?’. The purpose of this paper is not to critique twentieth-century evangelicalism’s doctrine of regeneration but to ponder this issue: if the idea of the ‘new birth’ is as foundational to the Christian faith, and the experience of the ‘new birth’ as central to the Christian life, as we evangelicals believe them to be; and if our (evangelical) view of regeneration is correct, as I presume most of us are convinced that it is; then why is it not more evident in the traditions of the sub-apostolic and early patristic Church? There are two reasons that I have chosen to examine the second century in particular. First, the person of Irenaeus provides us with an appropriate and convenient focal point. He lived and wrote at the close of the period and was the pre-eminent systematic theologian of the century and arguably the first in the history of the Church.

  • Chinese Protestant Christianity Today Daniel H. Bays
    Chinese Protestant Christianity Today Daniel H. Bays ABSTRACT Protestant Christianity has been a prominent part of the general religious resurgence in China in the past two decades. In many ways it is the most striking example of that resurgence. Along with Roman Catholics, as of the 1950s Chinese Protestants carried the heavy historical liability of association with Western domi- nation or imperialism in China, yet they have not only overcome that inheritance but have achieved remarkable growth. Popular media and human rights organizations in the West, as well as various Christian groups, publish a wide variety of information and commentary on Chinese Protestants. This article first traces the gradual extension of interest in Chinese Protestants from Christian circles to the scholarly world during the last two decades, and then discusses salient characteristics of the Protestant movement today. These include its size and rate of growth, the role of Church–state relations, the continuing foreign legacy in some parts of the Church, the strong flavour of popular religion which suffuses Protestantism today, the discourse of Chinese intellectuals on Christianity, and Protestantism in the context of the rapid economic changes occurring in China, concluding with a perspective from world Christianity. Protestant Christianity has been a prominent part of the general religious resurgence in China in the past two decades. Today, on any given Sunday there are almost certainly more Protestants in church in China than in all of Europe.1 One recent thoughtful scholarly assessment characterizes Protestantism as “flourishing” though also “fractured” (organizationally) and “fragile” (due to limits on the social and cultural role of the Church).2 And popular media and human rights organizations in the West, as well as various Christian groups, publish a wide variety of information and commentary on Chinese Protestants.

I can imagine no study more bracing and exhilarating than that of the modern expansion of the Church of England beyond the seas during the past half century, and especially since the institution of the Day of Intercession for Foreign Missions. It is only when these matters are studied historically that this expansion comes out in its true proportions, and invites comparison with the progress of the Church in any similar period of the world's history since our LORD'S Ascension into heaven. But for this purpose there must be the accurate marshalling of facts, the consideration of the special circumstances of each country, race and Mission, the facing of problems, the biographies of great careers, even the bold forecast of conquests yet to come.
