On this page the China Center keeps you up to date on the situation of the religions and of the Christian Churches in China.
On this page you will find selected articles regarding the question of “sinicization” of the Catholic Church in China and its inculturation in the Chinese context from current and historical perspectives. The sinicization is closely linked to Chinese religious policies, whereas inculturation of Catholicism is given expression, inter alia, in art and architecture. In terms of interculturation, the spirituality of unity with Taiji represents a new innovative spiritual practice.
