Given that over 50 million people of Chinese origina live outside mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Chinese churches have now spread across the globe. The global phenomenon of Chinese Christianity has brought into existence vibrant Chinese Communities in Greater China, Southeast Asia , Sout Asia, Oceania, North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. This global dispersal has diversified Chinese Christianity to such an extent that it is no longer tenable to view the Chinese church as a single, home-land centred entity. Both rapid migration and the widespread deployment of digital technology have given rise to a global network of Chinese churches, spanning many cultures and nations. As such, understanding Chinese ecclesiology requires close attention to how theological refection emerges from the lived experiences, cultural contexts, and historical trajectories of Chinese Christian communities, which in turn lead to distinctive theological formulations, ecclesiastical structures, and ecclesial practices. Registration fee of £75.00 includes conference dinner on _____. Accommodation should be booked separately, if required.
