At the 33rd Yale-Edinburgh Group on the History of the Missionary Movement and World Christianity, held at Yale Divinity School, I presented on the work of the Holy Spirit in the earliest mission to China.
The paper
“The Wind of the Spirit Is Blowing East: Ancestors, Deities, and the Holy Spirit in the Earliest Mission to China.”
Abstract
The earliest mission to China was carried out by the Church of the East, whose monks set their feet on the land of a spirited society represented by thousands of years of ancestral worship and fear of deities from Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and other folk religions.
