With
Grief Acquainted |
|
It is
not possible for us just to respond to the needs of church
members--everyone in the communities has been affected and we are
trying our best to respond to the grief and suffering of our fellow
human beings. We have worked non-stop since the earthquake struck,"
the evidently fatigued Pastor Wei Kang told our visiting group in
June, almost a month after the killer quake hit Sichuan. Wei Kang,
the chair of the Sichuan TSPM, and his colleagues have been
responding to constant calls for help, giving words of comfort and
making countless trips from Chengdu, the provincial capital, to some
of the hardest hit areas, delivering food, polyurethane sheets (used
as temporary shelters), cooking oil and other relief goods to
victims of the quake. |

Extended Interview With Jing Mingri |
|
As
pastor of the Zion Church in Beijing, Jin Mingri walks the line
between sanctioned and unsanctioned Christianity. For 10 years, he
was a pastor with the official church in China, but last year he
broke away to start Zion. Though it is not officially recognized by
the state, he says that the government has never disrupted his
gatherings. Here, he talks with FRONTLINE/World reporter Evan Osnos
about what attracted Jin to Christianity in the first place, why he
chose to break away from the official state church and what
Christianity can do for China. |
