The big story of world religion over the next 50 years will be the flourishing of the Christian church in China. Fujian province is supposedly more than 20% Christian today, and growing amazingly fast. The rest of China is following. It is quite possible that China will be majority Christian within my lifetime, or at least my childrens’.

The more relevant question is this — What FORM will this Chinese Christianity take? Will it be Catholic? Orthodox? Mainline Protestant? Evangelical? Will it hold to the essentials of the Christian faith? Will a more free-wheeling form appear?
THAT is the question.
