ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a detailed, comprehensive analysis of the theoretical discussion and practice of the indigenization of Christianity in China. It especially points out that the National Congress of Christianity, held in 1922, played quite a significant role in the course of Chinese indigenization of Christianity. Specifically, this congress was not only an embodiment of the Sinicization of the Christian Church but also clearly voiced key modern ideas, such as democracy and equality. Moreover, by compiling a list of the renowned Chinese Christians’ discourses on the interrelationship and interaction of Christianity and China, this chapter displays a kaleidoscope of Chinese solutions to the indigenization of the Chinese Christian Church.
