ABSTRACT

This chapter illustrates a more holistic picture of Hong Kong Christians who propose a third way, arguing for the validity of their lived theology. As pro-establishment Christians and pro-democracy Christians are too stark a dichotomy, this chapter draws from the work of Hong Kong theologians Freeman Chi-wai Huen and Andrew Wai-luen Kwok, to the lay theologies of the Hong Kong Christian participants, to present a fuller picture of lived theology in Hong Kong, China. Arguing against the reliance on secular, Western democratic language as the primary framework for Hong Kong Christians to discuss religion and politics, the chapter proposes the concept of incarnational humanism, articulated by Jens Zimmermann, as a Christian ideal and a worthy proposal that transcends the political polarisation within the Hong Kong Christian community.
