Not the Same, Still His: Stories of Chinese Christians Crossing Traditions

Across the Chinese Christian world, believers are quietly making spiritual turns—some toward Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy, others from ancient traditions back to Protestant faith. These are not stories of rebellion or novelty, but of seeking: seeking rootedness, beauty, belonging, and a faith that speaks to the soul.

In this series, we share personal accounts of Chinese Christians who have crossed traditions. Some stories are marked by clarity and joy, others by tension and grief. Yet each one bears witness to a common truth: though the paths may differ, they still belong to Christ.

At ChinaSource, we do not promote any one tradition. Rather, we believe that by listening well to these honest, often complex journeys, we can deepen our understanding of the diverse ways the Lord is at work in his Church—and perhaps rediscover something about our own faith along the way.
