Christian liturgy : a Chinese catechism of celebratingCatechism is often perceived as the teaching of old-fashioned doctrines of faith or an authoritarian list of what religious leaders force us to believe. This catechism is a survival package of food called faith. It is fresh water from the source for the daily path of life and for orientation in decision-making. These four volumes of Chinese Catechisms transform the classical core texts of the Christian faith into today's living: the Creed (Vol. 1), the Lord's Prayer (Vol. 2), the Ten Commandments (Vol. 3), and the Liturgy as celebration of Life (Vol. 4). The author You Bin from Beijing offers it from a Chinese perspective as a contribution to intercultural theology. It is a gift to world Christianity and humanity. It is not a Lutheran, Reformed, Catholic, or Anglican Catechism; it is a post-denominational window for living. In this volume 4, the Lord's Prayer is interpreted from a Chinese background and wisdom. Its genius lies in its innovative synthesis of, on the one hand, the liturgy rooted in the ancient rites and traditions of China and, on the other, the ancient traditions of the Church in an ecumenical spirit.

Relationship Building for Evangelism Among English Language Learners in ChinaThis empirical research revealed that relationship-building by missionaries among English language learners in China was a factor that facilitated their verbal communication of the gospel. For this study, I interviewed 15 missionaries who were identified by various leaders as being active in evangelism and who had shared the gospel with at least 10 Chinese people in the last year that they were on the field. Participants explained that they used the strategy of “funneling” interactions with Chinese individuals by narrowing down a large number of people with whom they had contact to a select few who were interested in spiritual conversation. This process led them to notice, explore, and capitalize on opportunities to verbally communicate the gospel. This qualitative study uses a grounded theory methodology to understand and explain the meaning that these missionaries attributed to their evangelistic activities. Study participants included 15 missionaries who currently work with Purposeful Teaching (pseudonym).

De la nécessité du TianxiaTianxia est une forme politique née dans l’antiquité chinoise, mais qui est adaptée à notre temps, alors que la mondialisation, notamment technologique, bat son plein, et que les formes politiques issues de la modernité marquent leurs limites. Elle comprend « tout ce qui est sous le ciel », sans rien rejeter hors d’elle, contrairement aux traditions issues du monothéisme, notamment occidental.

Equipping Leaders for Discipling Public-School Adolescents in Chinese House Churches: A Mixed Methods StudyChinese adolescents who attend house churches play a vital role in growing the body of Christ and leading the church to flourish. Hence, the church must assist them to establish identities in Christ and achieve spiritual prosperity so that they will be able to grow unto Christlikeness. However, they are facing multiple challenges during the faith developmental process. One of the most prominent factors is Chinese public school education. Due to national educational law in China, students have little opportunity to avoid secular and anti-Christian teachings throughout their educational journey. Meanwhile, Chinese adolescents are experiencing identity crises under the impacts and challenges of social culture changes, technological development, and globalization. These factors urge educational leaders to provide proper guidance for adolescents’ psychological development and spiritual growth. However, because Chinese house church leaders lack professional training in the area of Christian education, they do not find themselves confident in disciplining adolescents in the church who go to public schools. The purpose of this sequential transformative mixed-method study is to develop a means of equipping Chinese Christian educational leaders so that they will be able to assist public-school adolescents to grow in wisdom and stature for the kingdom of Christ. To be more specific, this mixed methods study includes significant factors associated with Christian educational leadership development focusing on disciplining adolescents who go to Chinese public schools, while overlaying sequential procedures to develop a valid curriculum model for training Chinese urban house church leaders. The study involves a multi-phase process. In the first phase, a three-round Delphi study will be utilized to better discover the potential consensus among thirteen experts. The second phase will allow the expert panel to assess and provide feedback for the curriculum model through a survey. This curriculum should not only aggregate educational resources for churches but also serve as a resource for delivering professional training to educational ministry leaders.

Novatians also known as “Novatian schism, Novatianism”One of the oldest schisms in the Early Church is the Novatian schism. After the persecution of Decius (249- 250) arose a disagreement within the Church of Rome about the way to accept the Christians who denied their Christian faith, because of the persecutions and the pressure to worship pagan idols. The result of this disagreement was the Novatian schism (251). Novatian (or Novatus) was a scholar (Stoic philosopher before his conversion to Christianity), who became a priest and a noted theologian and prolific writer. He was the first Roman theologian who used the Latin language. After the death of the Bishop of Rome Fabianus (236-250), who was killed in prison, the administration of the local Church was taken over by elders and deacons, with Novatian as their head. With the end of the persecutions of Decius the elders faced the question of the admission to the Church of those who had lapsed and wished to return to the Christian faith, as well as the issue of their penance. They thus adopted the so-called lifelong penance, meaning that the lapsed would be accepted to the Church on their deathbed. In March 251, with the emperor Decius’s death, the persecution began to subside and the Roman community seized the opportunity to nominate a successor to Fabian. Although Novatian was an eminent theologian in Rome and had a hand in running the Church after the death of Fabian, the moderate Roman aristocrat Cornelius (251-253) was elected. Cornelius adopted a more lenient attitude towards those who did not sacrifice to idols, but refused Christianity in a written declaration. The lapsed could be restored to communion after varying forms of repentance, demonstrated by a period of penance. Those who supported a more rigorous position, however, had Novatian consecrated as bishop and refused to recognize Cornelius as Bishop of Rome. In 251, Cornelius assembled a council of sixty bishops in Rome to acknowledge him as the rightful pope and excommunicated Novatian, as well as all of his followers, while the council settled also the question of the lapsed. While Novatian had refused redemption to the those who had renounced their Christianity under persecution but later wanted to return to the Church, his followers extended the doctrine to include all “mortal sins”, such as idolatry, murder, and adultery, or fornication. Many of them forbade second marriage as well. The repentance of these groups was lifelong in the broadest sense, that is, until the Second Coming, when the Lord Himself would judge them. Novatians considered the baptism of the clergy under the Bishop Cornelius invalid, so they and baptized those who joined their sect. Intolerant and authoritarian himself, Novatian forced his followers to swear that they would not follow Cornelius of Rome. Novatian died in 258, probably during Valerian’s persecutions. After his death, Novatianist churches continued to thrive side by side with the orthodox churches up to the fifth century in the West and up to the eighth century in the East, particularly in Asia Minor. In the West, Novatianist communities with their own bishops spread from Rome and Africa as far as Spain. Those who allied themselves with his doctrines were called Novatianists, but they called themselves “Catharoi” or “Purists” (not to be confused with the later Cathars) to reflect their desire not to be identified with what they regarded as the lax and tolerant practices of a corrupt ecclesiastical power. They always had a successor of Novatian at Rome. Some Novatians blended with the Montanists and, mostly in the East, many of the cities of Phrygia (former stronghold of the Montanists) had Novatianist bishops. The last of their communities survived till the end of the seventh century.

Spiritual Power. Ethnic Chinese Managers and the Rise of Charismatic ChristianityThis article explores the ongoing conversion of ethnic Chinese managers in Indonesia and Malaysia to charismatic Christianity, a movement characterized by experiential spirituality, healing, and prophesying. The spiritual turn among ethnic Chinese managers is positioned against the growing literature on spirituality in organizations and the acclaimed need for managers to bring spirituality to work in order to enhance efficiency and employee well-being under the present Zeitgeist of growing global competition and organizational change. An important missing link, however, in this instrumentalist literature is a contextualized approach to the inner meanings of religion-based spirituality in the lives of the managers involved. By analyzing the experiences as narrated by converted managers in Indonesia and Malaysia against the background of their cultural, political, social and economic context - in casu the ethno-religious power relations at national levels -, this article takes the analysis beyond the goal-oriented leadership literature. Additionally, it applies a comparative approach to show that the spiritual turn may have divergent meanings to actors in different contexts. The outcomes of the research illustrate that religion-based spirituality among ethnic Chinese managers in Indonesia and Malaysia is empowering at the managerial level but also at the ethnic level. In the latter case however, this empowerment is quite differently constituted.
