INTRODUCTION In recent years t he r e has been a gr owi ng interest within the Chinese Christian community in the a reas of "Chi nese native-colored theology," the relationship between Christianity and Chinese cul t ure, the appropriateness of Chinese foreign missions projects, and the "indigenous church." These topics usually arouse peculiar interest among most Chinese Christians. Their central appeal is to the concept of the dis­ tinctly indigenous "Chinese" approach.

Front cover picture - Students.fi·om Back to the Bible College, near Barberton, South Africa, participated in the recent African Pastors' Conference. The Makhonjwa mountains can be seen in the background. For report see News, page 8. II Editorial During the discussion time at the Banner ofTruth Leicester Conference for ministers in May Geoff Thomas posed this question: Why, he asked, did the Reformed movement which was flying high in the 1970s lose its momentum? One answer given was the distraction of the charismatic movement. Attracted by 'higher' and far more exciting forms of worship and by the claim of signs, wonders and miracles (which seldom if ever eventuate) droves of young people moved away from the Reformed churches. Westminster Chapel, London, now a New Frontiers Church, is one example of what took place. Failure to face the challenge of contemporaneity (the worship wars) led to the loss of many young people and families. Today the situation in the UK is worse than ever with many small Reformed ageing churches in decline and heading toward closure. The main reason is the failure to distinguish between essential truths, important truths and phantom truths. Phantom truths refer to matters which cannot be supported by Scripture and may refer such things as dress codes, musical instruments, flower arrangements, architecture, or the order of a worship service.

  • David Paton --- Christian Missiomissionn Encounters Communism in China"
    THE HENRY MARTYN LECTURES 2007 "David Paton --- Christian MissioMissionn Encounters Communism in China" by Prof. Peter Tze Ming Ng LECTURE 2: Tuesday 6th February 2007 INTRODUCTION In this second lecture, I shall focus on my reflections of the work of David Paton, Christian Mission and the Judgment of God (London: SCM Press, First edition in 1953). When I came to Cambridge as a visiting fellow in the fall of 2005, I was asked to lead a discussion group at this Divinity Faculty. I was glad to know that amongst the reading list, Paton's book was on the required list for all M.Phil. students of World Christianity. The book was reprinted by Wm B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. in October 1996, with an introduction by Rev. Bob Whyte and a foreword by Bishop K.H. Ting. They both have endorsed Paton's view from the experiences of Chinese Churches in the past forty years. Bob Whyte said that many of Paton's reflections remained of immediate relevance today and the issues he perceived as important in 1953 were still central to the future Christianity in China. Bishop Ting also affirmed that his book was a book of prophetic vision and Paton was a gift of God to the worldwide church. Dr. Gerald H. Anderson, the director of Overseas Ministries Study Centre at New Haven (USA) further remarked, saying: "To have this classic available again is timely- even better with the new foreword by Bishop K.H. Ting. [1] So Paton's work was still worth re-visiting, and I decided to read it again for this lecture.

  • Protestant Ecumenism and Theology in China Since Edinburgh 1910’
    © Chow, A. (2014). ‘Protestant Ecumenism and Theology in China Since Edinburgh 1910’. Missiology: An International Review. 10.1177/0091829613501965 Protestant Ecumenism and Theology in China Since Edinburgh 1910 by Alexander Chow1 Ecumenical theology traditionally focuses on clarifying diverse opinions on core matters of the faith. But from its inception in China, ecumenism has been heavily influenced by its sociopolitical concerns. This article explores ecumenism’s goal of church unity in Chinese Protestantism since Edinburgh 1910. Two early attempts sought to speak to the concerns of foreign denominationalism and imperialism. In the 1980s, a third attempt occurred within the government-sanctioned church. This would be complicated by the prevalence of house churches and theological studies among secular academics. How does this trifurcation of Christian activity affect the goals of Chinese Protestant ecumenism? Introduction Robert Morrison was the first Protestant missionary to China in 1807. Though his efforts saw few converts, Morrison inaugurated an enterprise that came into full force during the so-called “Opium Wars” of the mid- to late-19th century. Missionaries would then enter China on the heels of war and conquest, and foreign powers began using bilingual missionaries and converts as translators. Hence, at an early stage, Christianity was seen as a partner of imperialism. In 1900, the Boxer Rebellion waged a war against imperialism and Christianity, leading to the death of several hundred foreign missionaries and tens of thousands of Chinese Christians – the latter of whom were treated as traitors (Latourette 1929:501-519). Since the Chinese government was unwilling and unable to control the situation, eight foreign nations brought military forces together and 1 Alexander Chow has written several articles on Christian theology in China and East Asia, and is the author of Theosis, Sino-Christian Theology and the Second Chinese Enlightenment, published through Palgrave Macmillan in 2013.

  • Chinasource Quarterly Autumn 2017, Vol. 19, No. 3 the Chinese Church
    The Chinese Church and Its Historical Past ChinaSource Quarterly Autumn 2017, Vol. 19, No. 3 In this issue . Editorial Understanding the Past, Understanding the Present Page 2 Andrew T. Kaiser, Guest Editor Feature Articles History: It’s Essential Page 3 Brent Whitefield Strong faith is built upon history. Trust in God rests on the memory of what God has done in the past and the consistency of his character seen in the historical record of his dealings with humankind. Whitefield explains why knowledge and reflection on history are essential for the church in a variety of contexts. For foreign workers serving in an alien context, their willingness to learn the history of their area communicates a depth of in- terest in the people they are serving. Fragmented and Complacent: The Chinese Church that Lacks Historical Consciousness Page 5 Brother Li The Chinese church’s lack of historical consciousness is longstanding. While the secular world has increased its understanding of history in many areas, the church has lagged behind. Only recently has research into church history begun. As it becomes known, the church needs to recognize that history has practical applications and must learn how to apply these. When this does not happen, there are negative effects, and the author discusses some of these. Traditional Chinese Views of History and Contemporary Chinese Christianity Page 6 Peregrine de Vigo Following a brief review of the ways Chinese have viewed their history over the centuries, the author turns to the consideration of how today’s PRC citizens view their history. All Chinese views of history have included “history” that is promoted nationally and directly serves the interests of the state.

  • The Mission Strategy of the China Inland Mission in 1930S (From the Role of a Leader to the Role of a Partner) by Wing Yui So (Ph.D)
    The Mission Strategy of the China Inland Mission in 1930s (From the Role of a Leader to the Role of a Partner) By Wing Yui So (Ph.D) According to Lyall’s reports, the second significant but subtle change in the mission strategy of the CIM was the change of its role from a leader to a partner. This change is recorded in Three of China’s Might Men, as well as in chapter 12 of A Passion for the Impossible. This change is closely related to the great revival in the 1930s which resulted in the emergence of local Chinese church leaders. Lyall did not only report on this shift of mission strategy, he himself was in fact actively involved in the transition, first in his partnership with David Yang and later with Wang Mingdao. Prior to 1900, the Christian missionary movement had to contend with the intense conservatism of the Chinese. The Chinese hated foreigners and despised all that they represented. Conversions were hardly won. However, the humiliation of the Imperial Court in Beijing during the Boxer Uprising in 1900 resulted in the crumbling of the opposition to Western culture. Many Chinese began to be more open to Western ideas. Radical reforms in education and in the political structure were introduced. Never before in the entire history of the Church had so large a non-Christian body been so physically and mentally accessible to the Gospel. Mission schools and universities where English was taught became increasingly popular. The success of the Revolution in 1911 under the leadership of Sun Yat Sen, a Christian, seemed to give the Christian church in China a boost.

Hudson Taylor in der Reihe der „Zeugen des gegenwärtigen Gottes" herauszubringen. Auch wenn es seit dem politischen Umbruch 1949/51 in China nicht mehr Mission im früheren Sinne gibt, so kann gerade ein Ein• blick in das Leben Hudson Taylors und die Geschichte seines Werkes uns helfen, das Wesen der Mission zu erkennen und die Methoden zu beachten, wie sie in der CIM angewandt wurden, damit wir in der heutigen Situation den Zeugendienst so tun, wie der Herr der Mission ihn von uns haben will. Auch wenn wir kritische Fragen an Hudson Taylor und seine Grundsätze stellen müssen, so dürften seine Methoden doch von weg• weisender Bedeutung auch für die heutige Missionsarbeit sein, zumal er mit seiner Missionspraxis spätere Entwicklungen vorweggenommen hat. Immer wieder hat gerade in China die ausländische Mission erhebliche Rückschläge erfahren müssen. Das gilt für die nesto• rianische Mission, die im Jahre 635 durch den Mönch Alopen begonnen wurde, aber auch für die beiden römisch-katholischen Missionsperioden durch die Franziskaner (1293-1368) und dann die Jesuiten, deren Tätigkeit 1583 mit dem Eintreffen von Matteo Ried anfing.

    In JOHN SUI\G,S STEP S By TIMOTHY TOW In John Sung's Steps ... Dr. John Sung was probably the greatest preacher of th¡s century. I have heard almost all the great preachers from 1910 until now, including R. A. Torrey, Billy Sunday, Henry Jowett, the great holiness peachers, the Methodist bishops, including Bishop Quayle, even llarry Emerson Fosdick, who set a great example of the homiletic art, though I did not agree with him, and finally Billy Graham, Yet John Sung surpassed thenl all in pulpit power, attested by amazing and enduring results, of which we will give examples later. - Ililliant D.
