The Church as Safe Haven conceptualizes the rise of Chinese
Christianity as a new civilizational paradigm that encouraged
individuals and communities to construct a sacred order for
empowerment in modern China. Once Christianity enrooted itself in
Chinese society as an indigenous religion, local congregations
acquired much autonomy which enabled new religious institutions to
take charge of community governance. Our contributors draw on
newly-released archival sources, as well as on fieldwork
observations investigating what Christianity meant to Chinese
believers, how native actors built their churches and faith-based
associations within the pre-existing social networks, and how they
appropriated Christian resources in response to the fast-changing
world. This book reconstructs the narratives of ordinary
Christians, and places everyday faith experience at the center.
Contributors are: Christie Chui-Shan Chow, Lydia Gerber, Melissa
Inouye, Diana Junio, David Jong Hyuk Kang, Lars Peter Laamann,
Joseph Tse-Hei Lee, George Kam Wah Mak, John R. Stanley, R. G.
Tiedemann, Man-Shun Yeung.
