About this Event

The Cambridge Centre for Chinese Theology hosts the esteemed Professor Xutong Qu from Tsinghua University China for a lecture titled

The Wind Blows Where It Wishes, and Each Bears Its Proper Form (像): Exploring Theological Possibility of 'Re-denominization' in Chinese Christianity Today

This paper employs the Chinese concept of form (像) as a central framework for a preliminary yet multifaceted theological reflection on the emerging phenomena of re-denominization in contemporary Chinese Christianity. It explores how denominations or confessions and the broader process of "denominization" become theologically possible —rooted in both divine gracious action and human contextual response in its proper form. The paper examines how specific denominational forms are realized across three key dimensions: institutional, historical, and doctrinal. Where appropriate, insights from historical studies and field research on Chinese Christianity are also included.
