SOLIDARITY IN CHALLENGING TIME

Immerse yourself in China’s modern metropolises and ancient historical sites. Visit Beijing, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Xi'an, and Shanghai. Experience the Church Universal, one faith expressed in varied and unique ways – people young and old, from the East and from the West. What can we learn from one another? How can we support one another in the journey of faith?

 

This tour will take place for 10-12 days in early/mid August.

This tour is specially designed for those who want to better understand contemporary China, engage its faith communities, and explore prospects for collaboration. All are welcome.
