Summary:The 12th Symposium, held online on August 12-13 and 19-20, 2021, was jointly organized by the Society for the Study of History of Christianity in China, the Centre for Sino-Christian Studies of the Hong Kong Baptist University, the Christianity and Chinese Culture Research Centre of the Alliance Bible Seminary, and the Christian Study Centre on Chinese Religion and Culture. The papers presented at the Symposium representing the research focus on regional studies, female Christians, church-state relations, indigenization, Christianity in Hong Kong and Catholicism. Wong's friendship and close collaboration with Rhenish missionaries, as well as their unanimous recognition of his contributions, prepared him for church ministry and eventually led to his ordination as the first Chinese pastor of the Rhenish Mission. Entering the twentieth century, one of the biggest challenges of the era faced by Christianity in China-whether in terms of ideological trials or church-state relations-came from the Chinese Communist Revolution, which culminated in the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
