Work of the Christian Missionaries: Converting China to Christianity

Christian missionaries know this is not easy. When I went to China, I went to an unknown land with a one way street. The challenge of turning China into Christianity is full of challenges as it continues to resist any external influence of Chinese tradition over the years. Missionaries still go to China and take advantage of the advantages they can find. One of the people who made such big progress in China was Jesuit named Matteo Ricci.

Unlike Japan, Christians missionaries visited China earlier, but Christians of Nestoria arrived in the 7th century. However, the first Catholic missionary began preaching in China for the first time in the latter half of the 13 th century when Franciscan Giovanni da Montecorvino was welcomed by Khan (ruler of Mongolia in China). In the 14th century, a few missionaries followed Montecobino, baptized members of the diplomatic and elite elite, established churches and other Catholic churches. However, not changing the arrival of native Chinese and missionaries from Europe led to the true loss of faith in the latter half of the 14th century.

Christian missionaries have been active in China since the arrival of Roman Catholics, ordered by the Jesuits in the early 17th century. Protestant missionaries first appeared in the early 19th century. Because Christianity is related to Western imperialism in the eyes of the general public, it is difficult for all Christian missionaries to convert to Chinese. By 1949, there were only 3-4 million Christians in China, which was less than 1% of the total population. Muslims are mainly from Central Asia, Central Asia, and many Turks have practiced here.

Christianity and Islam arrived in China in the 7th century. Christianity did not settle until the missionaries of the Jesuits reintroduced Christianity in the 16 th century. Early in the 20th century, the Christian community continued to develop, but since 1949, foreign missionaries were expelled from the country, and the church was governed by the government-controlled institutions. In the latter half of the 1970s, Christian religious freedom was improved and a new group of Chinese appeared 508,532 China saw the secular idea that began in the Confucian era, the home of humanism and secularism It is made.
