Webinar: Contemporary Narratives about the Church in China

•

In September of last year, we hosted our first webinar, “What Is It Like to Be a Christian in China?” The presenter was Dr. Mary Li Ma, a Chinese research scholar at Calvin University and author of three books. More than 100 people have been helped by that webinar, either by attending the live session in September or accessing the recorded version since then.

We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting our second webinar on February 10, with our founder Dr. Brent Fulton as the presenter.

Here are the details, as listed on the webinar page:

Our China Stories:
Unpacking Contemporary Narratives about the Church in China

What we fundamentally believe about China’s church goes a long way toward determining how we will choose to engage, how we view what is desirable and what is possible. This webinar will explore four narratives about the church in China that have dominated Western Christian perceptions over the past four decades. How has our understanding of China’s past and present shaped our expectations for the future? What have been the consequences? In what ways have we become victims of our own narratives? Our stories may say as much about ourselves as they do about the church in China.
