Aspects of the emergence of the chinese church from the missionary movement, 1900-1949Yu, Ligong, Yu, Moses Lee-Kung 11 1900 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to contribute toward an understanding of missionaries and
missions of the west and the rising of the Chinese indigenous churches. There is a necessity to trace the
historical protestant mission work since Robert Morrison in 1807. Through the inequality of treaties
such as the Nanking Treaty of 1842, the door to missions was opened in China. Missions came in
along with western colonialism and military force. The Chinese people and government built up their
hatred and resentment of the west during this period. The Boxer Uprising was the beginning of an era
of unrest and instability, which brought about greater government interventions that impacted the
Chinese people. Missionaries and Chinese Christians were murdered and martyred. However, these
tragedies did not stop missions from sending more missionaries. Chinese Christians and leaders opened
their eyes. The new awakening started Chinese indigenous churches through a revivalist and spiritual
emphasis. Speakers such as Ding Li-Mei, Wang Ming-Dao, David Yang, John Sung, Watchman Nee,
and Calvin Chao were active during the period between 1925 and 1949. Indigenous churches like the
True Jesus Church, Jesus family Church, Zei Li Hwey and Ling En Hwey came into being. This was a
most challenging era in modem Chinese Church history. The results were great. Since 1949 and the
"Liberation" the Chinese church has marched on without western missionaries. / Christian Spirituality, Church History, and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)

From maintenance christianity to a holistic and comprehensive understanding of mission : a case study of churches in the North Kiru Province of the Democratic Republic of CongoMusolo W'isuka Kamuha 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation explores the need to involve churches in mission according to the Lord Jesus
Christ, whose mission was indeed holistic and comprehensive. To achieve this goal, the study
calls upon churches to move from a “maintenance Christianity” status, which has been almost
a way of life for churches, to a holistic and comprehensive approach to mission. Practically
speaking, this is to be illustrated through a case study of churches in the North Kivu Province
of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The churches in this part of the world present many
challenges that sustain such an exploration, namely, misunderstanding regarding mission, lack
of well-skilled and visionary church leaders, maintenance Christianity mentality, spirit of
tribalism among Christians, and poverty. The study concludes with practical
recommendations on how the issues raised through the dissertation can be applied to a
broader field than the churches in the North Kivu Province. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology) / M. Th. (Missiology)

Encountering the Mbuti Pygmies : a challenge to Christian mission in the Democratic Republic of the CongoMusolo W'isuka Kamuha 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis explores the Mbuti Pygmies, a sub-group of the Pygmy peoples, one of the
main ethnic groups of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The Mbuti
Pygmies are settled mostly in the Ituri rainforest, and are, with regard to Christian
mission, still unreached and unchurched. The oversight of the churches vis-à-vis these
people is highlighted, through this thesis, as a challenge to Christian mission. This
challenge is a result of the way Christian mission is understood and undertaken in
DRC, namely in the selective and exclusive way of missioning, according to which
some peoples are targeted and others forsaken.
Churches in the DRC shy away from the Mbuti Pygmies probably because, on
the one hand, these forest dwellers belong to the group of Pygmies whose existence as
full human beings is enigmatic and very controversial. Because of the uniqueness of
the Pygmy peoples in terms of physical features, culture, and way of life, on the other
hand, the non-Pygmy peoples, including Christians, suffer from a kind of complex of
superiority that creates in them a spirit of discrimination against the Mbuti Pygmies.
As the Mbuti Pygmies are discriminated against even by Christians, it is very difficult
for them to be taken into account within the mission agendas of the churches. This
challenge to Christian mission is highlighted by two facts. Firstly, Christian mission is
designed for all the nations to which the Mbuti Pygmies belong. Secondly, the
churches, with their missional mandate to all the nations, shy away from the Mbuti
Pygmies as if these people were outside the scope of Christian mission and, thus,
unworthy of God’s grace and love.To remedy this challenge, with the aim of implementing Christian mission in
the DRC, this study suggests a missional encounter as a way forward to addressing the
Mbuti Pygmies. In practice, this may be implemented through the missionary
conversion, the right perception of the Mbuti Pygmies as being fully made in the
“image of God” and fully part of the “all nations”, promoting formal education among
the Mbuti Pygmies, and sustaining the churches by an integrated theological
education. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)
