As Han Christians continue to engage in Christian mission, understanding their interaction with Uyghur Muslims gives insights into growing barriers and future possibilities. Oral histories and relevant historical sources qualitatively explain the challenges and opportunities involved in Han Christian interaction with Uyghurs Muslims. The article assesses the historical and current backgrounds of both groups. Comparing self-reported identities and interactions reveal not just their distinctives but also opportunities for connection. Finally, this article discusses these specific opportunities, despite escalating tensions, for continued Han Christian engagement in Christian mission with Uyghurs, especially as it relates to sharing translated scripture.

This paper presents various Chinese-Christian understandings of the Protestant missions from the U.S. and U.K. in the 1920s. By examining three typical attitudes represented by Zhao Zichen, Li Chunfan, and Zhang Yijing, the author argues that external influences from ideologies – such as nationalism – alone are insufficient to explain the differences among them. Looking closely at what Zhao, Li, and Zhang wrote about the Anti-Christian Movement, it is argued that their inner commitments should be included when accounting for their differences.

David H. F. Ng (吴海辉)
This paper offers a missiological reflection on the construction of Mainland Chinese ethnic and racial identity. Through a survey of scholarly literature on both the ethnic classification project in Mainland China and “yellow” as a racial designator in Western imagination, this article demonstrates their fluid, constructed, and imagined nature in the context of power, inequality, and vulnerability. While these imposed constructions are contested and negotiated, they are also, to varying extents, shared and accepted. This article also argues that such constructed identities and imaginaries can powerfully shape our understanding and encounter with others in our increasingly diverse and interconnected world. For the Christian, Jesus’ humble, self-giving, sacrificial love and service should shape our identity and relationship with others in ways that transcend our inherited ethnic and racial identity constructions. As citizens of heaven, Christians – in both their attitudes and practices – should thus model an alternative to the ethnic and racial division and brokenness already evident in the church and the world.

Christianity’s reality in the global south where poverty, climate change, ecological degradation and marginalization are the daily, lived experience of the majority of the world’s population, presents theologians with a unique moment of challenge and opportunity for theological exploration, experimentation, and missiological innovation. This article explores and analyzes one such experiment, the Bethany Land Institute (BLI, https://bethanylandinstitute.org/) in Uganda. Inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, BLI promotes the concept and practice of integral ecology as a lens for missiological reflection. The article argues that integral ecology, as pursued at BLI, invites us to rethink the traditional themes of Christian mission such as conversion, love, spirituality, and ecclesiology. It also provides a new model of doing theology, one that is particularly appropriate in an era marked by World Christianity, and by the global ecological crisis.
基督教在全球南部的现实，贫困、气候变化、生态退化和边缘化是世界大多数人口的日常生活经历，为神学家提供了一个独特的挑战和机会，进行神学探索、实验和文字创新。本文探索并分析了一个这样的实验——Bethany Land Institute（BLI，https://bethanylandinstitute.org/)在乌干达。受教皇方济各通谕“Laudato Si”的启发，BLI推广了整体生态学的概念和实践，将其作为书信反思的镜头。文章认为，BLI所追求的整体生态学，邀请我们重新思考基督教使命的传统主题，如皈依、爱、精神和教会学。它还提供了一种新的神学模式，这种模式在世界基督教和全球生态危机的时代尤为合适。
