The Church in China Today
Wednesday, November 10, 2021 2:30 pm EST
This week we turn to the question of the Church in China today. Some surveys suggest that Christians are four percent of the Chinese population, perhaps about 50-60 million believers (about three quarters of whom are Protestant and one quarter Catholic). Thus the population of Christian believers in China is greater than that of most European countries. The substantial presence of Christianity in China reflects the significant legacy of Christian missions—both Protestant and Catholic—in the 19th and 20th centuries but more importantly the resilience of Chinese believers themselves.
