This is our third time here together. We first came four years ago, right after we began dating. This trip is our second one that is over a month long in six months. It's easy to make things appear a certain way over social media, but this trip has tested us in every way possible. The struggles have been endless, daily life has been difficult, the language barrier has been frustrating, and that is just the beginning. It's hard being far away from home, friends, and loved ones, but I am thankful to Amanda for sticking by my side. Life has its ups and downs, and I'm lucky to have a partner who will stick by me through both. . . . #china #ImissAmerica #USAUSAUSA #goodwife #lovingwife #chengdu #chengduchina #chinaexpat #djlife #travellife #coupleswhotravel #lasvegasdj (at 成都太古里)

14 hour layover in Chengdu, China so I obviously had to visit a cat cafe. The Peek A Boo Cat Cafe was a cute little spot with several cats roaming around. I was actually shocked to see a sphinx which are my favorite cats! Thank you @catcafereviews for the directions to this hidden gem. #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #catstagram #catsofig #catlover #catlady #catlife #catlovers #animallovers #kittens #kitten #kittensofinstagram #chengdu #chengduchina #china #catcafe #peekaboocatcafe #travel #smilekitty (at Peekaboo Cat Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvYjyo3JZfn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cpdpkcwgit3y

Christianity and “Bible Women” In China

The Chinese government and authorities have been closing down some Christian churches, particularly Early Rain Covenant Church, located in Chengdu, China.  

The police in Chengdu were directed to confiscate Bibles of a seminary school run by the Early Rain Covenant Church and took the pastor into custody, charging him with “inciting subversion.” This charge is defined by China’s criminal law as an act that seeks to overthrow or diminish the integrity of the socialist nation by spreading false truths. If someone is caught committing “inciting subversion,” there is a chance that person could serve up to a five year prison sentence.

We can see that cross-cultural concepts can be applied in the Chinese government’s action on the Church in Chengdu, China, such as cognitive biases. The Chinese culture comes from a western perspective. The three main Chinese religions are Confucianism (more of a philosophy but practiced), Taoism, and Buddhism, which shapes how the government may think, feel, and act toward those who identify as the minority Christians.

The Buddhists worldview says that the physical and spiritual realities are nothing more than an illusion. Likewise, the Taoist worldview says that the Tao orders and structures the universe and in order to connect with the Tao, one must carve out themselves in order to get closer to the origin of life. These clash with the minority Christian beliefs and therefore, naturally create biased lenses and paradigms.

Aside from the understated Christian persecution in China, there are women who are without a doubt, a key part in the existence of Christianity in the world’s largest country: Bible Women.  

When Christianity arrived in China in the early 19th Century, those who identified as Confucians often viewed women as subordinate to their male counterparts. While gender disparities and social roles in this country were dominated by the perspective of men, there were important movements during the dynasties that led to the female breakthrough: the May Fourth Movement of the 1920s. This delivered women from subordination to formation.

“Bible Women” faced opposition throughout the history of China’s biased actions. Nevertheless, women continued to minister in every way that they could. Many women were missionary wives or single women who sought to recruit more and more women, which led to the name of “Bible Women.”

One of the most famous “Bible Women” was Dora Yu (1873-1931). Yu was a preacher’s daughter who studied medicine for a short period of time until she realized the impact that she had revival preaching in Korea.

Regardless of the seemingly minor persecution that Christians are facing in Chengdu, China, we see the clash of religious cultures in the persecution of churches and during the rise of “Bible Women” breaking the cultural norms.
