Abstract
Based on the field study of a church in Northwestern China, this article depicts how a local Christianity form comes into being with a struggle between existential legitimacy and religious legitimacy. II: the process of dealing with the tension between acceptance by the locals and religious traditions, the local church somehow enriched the forms and expressions of global Christianity. Besides the case itself, the article also tries to propose a theoretical framework for a better understanding of Christianity in Chinese society.
