In 2014, I had completed a six-year study with the primary intention to identify key factors as to why English-speaking Chinese adults exit (i.e., defect from, apostatize from, leave) Canadian-Chinese bicultural1 churches—a problem Helen Lee has termed a “silent exodus.”2 A secondary purpose of the study was to recommend some leadership strategies towards the longitudinal retention3 of these adults through English ministry congregations. I firmly believe that transformational leaders can develop healthier congregations that maximize missional capacity."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderChurchesMissionBibletheologydiasporaIntercultural and contextual theologiesMissiologyChristian denominationsBiblical TheologyBible (texts, commentaries)Article
