china’s evangelisation of europe
Are the Chinese the next wave of missionaries to Europe? Is China, the recipient of hundreds of years of missionary input, now in a position to take the gospel back to Europe and the rest of the world?
Since the Enlightenment, the Church in Europe has suffered serious decline and European society today is largely secular. Can Chinese missionaries turn Europeans back to Christ?
The history of Christian missions, after all, is the chronicle of Western missionaries and their exploits, and the notion of missionaries from the East preaching to a godless Europe is the stuff of creative fiction.
Momentum magazine has an interesting article on the potential of the once recipient countries becoming the sending countries of the new era.
