Forum on Christian Faith of Chinese Intellectuals -- Spirituality、 Understanding、 Character

Theme of the 2014 Forum: Key Aspects in Spiritual Growth of Contemporary Chinese Intellectuals
Aug 07-09, 2014 (Thursday Morning-Saturday Noon)

Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA

The theme of this year’s forum is “Key Aspects in Spiritual Growth of Contemporary Chinese Intellectuals”. We will discuss how to encourage Chinese intellectuals in their spiritual growth from four representative aspects: theological thinking, church development, spiritual disciplines and practical applications. Theological thinking deeply influences our development in spirituality, understanding and character (SUC); the church "ecological" environment needs to promote the growth of our SUC; spiritual disciplines are necessary pathways for our progress in SUC; and applications of our faith in work, home and society are complementary to advance our SUC.

The primary objective of this year’s forum is to serve the Chinese Christian intellectuals who are willing to grow in SUC and apply their faith in their daily lives. We will collect the submitted written contributions and edit the content of this forum, as well as the papers from those who could not be present this time. We plan to publish the papers in various format.
