Upcoming Public Lecture: China's Earliest Christians

Have you ever wondered about the first Christians in China?


On March 20, ChinaSource will host a free public lecture by Dr. Glen Thompson, Professor Emeritus of Asia Lutheran Seminary in Hong Kong. The topic of the lecture will be "China's Earliest Christians: Who Were They and What Can We Learn From Them?" Dr. Thompson's book, Jingjiao: The Earliest Christian Church in China, was recently given an Award of Merit from Christianity Today


Dr. Thompson will introduce us to an eighth-century stele indicating thata community of Chinese Christians of the time understood and referred to Christianity as "luminous teaching." By learning about these early Chinese Christians, we can draw lessons for the Church in China and beyond.


The lecture will be held at Nazareth Chapel, University of Northwestern - St. Paul, on March 20, 2025. Light refreshments will begin at 6:15 PM, followed by the lecture itself at 7:00 PM. Please click here to read more and to register.
