This book gathers the voices of four local Hong Kong theologians to
reflect on the 2014 democracy protests in the city from the
perspectives of Catholic social teaching, feminist and queer
intersectionality, Protestant liberation, and textual exegesis. The
volume also includes an extended primer on Hong Kong politics to
aid readers as they reflect on the theology underlying the
democracy protests. September 28, 2014 is known as the day that
political consciousness in Hong Kong began to shift. As police
fired eighty-seven volleys of tear gas at protesters demanding
"genuine universal suffrage" in Hong Kong, the movement (termed the
"Umbrella Movement") ignited a polarizing set of debates over civil
disobedience, government collusion with private interests, and
democracy. The Umbrella Movement was also a theological watershed
moment, a time for religious reflection. This book analyzes the
role that religion played in shaping the course of this historic
movement.
