Chinese and American Friendship Ministry
We've piloted this friendship ministry in the Bay Area. Its aim is to broaden engagement with students from China who come to the U.S. for university education.
As an association, we have spent the last year in discernment and dialogue with partners and stakeholders across the U.S. We've also welcomed two new board members, Kathleen O'Brien and Alfred Gui who serve as co-chairs of the Chinese and American Friendship Ministry.
Speaker Series Event:
This year, the USCCA's speaker series in collaboration with China Source and China Academic Consortium, hosted Dr. José Casanova on June 8, 2024 to speak on the topic of "The Three Phases of the Globalization of Catholicism in Asia, with special focus on developments in China."
Drawing from his extensive knowledge of the history of Catholic encounters in Asia, Dr. Casanova outlined three phases of globalization, each marked by its own particular challenges and controversies within the Church and adjacent communities.
