Citizens of Two Kingdoms: Civil Society and Christian Religion in Greater China
Co-edited by Shun-hing Chan and Jonathan Johnson, Citizens of Two Kingdoms examines the complex relationships of civil society, Christian organizations, and individual Christians in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. Different authors investigate to what extent Christian organizations or individual Christians demonstrate the quality of civic virtues or virtual citizenship in the four regions, and reflect on the promises and difficultie…
Changing church-state relations in contemporary China: The case of Wenzhou Diocese
This article examines the relationship between the state and the Catholic Church in Wenzhou in contemporary China from the perspective of institutional theory. There have been four phases of interaction between the state and the Catholic Church between 1980 and today, namely, religious restoration, tightened control over religion, the management of religion and limiting religious influence. During these phases, the state coerced the Catholic Chur…
The Protestant community and the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong
This paper examines Protestants' participation in the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong through Richard Wood's theory of faith-based community organizing. Protestants were an integral proportion of the protesters in the movement. Despite many church leaders expressing reservations and opposition, the Protestant community displayed a high degree of participation in the Umbrella Movement, far exceeding any previous collective action. The author argues…
Changing Church-State Relations in Contemporary China: The Case of the Fengxiang Diocese
This study examines the dynamics of church-state relations in contemporary China by analyzing the case of the Catholic Diocese of Fengxiang in Shaanxi province. The article seeks to identify the salient patterns of church-state relations in the Fengxiang diocese and the social factors that contribute to the formation of such patterns. I argue that the three key factors contributing to church-state relations in Fengxiang are the absence of competi…
Beyond War and Men: Reconceptualizing Peace in Relation to the Everyday and Women
I draw on the experiences of two Chinese women and one group of women among the one thousand nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by the 1000 PeaceWomen for the Nobel Peace Prize project to demonstrate how peace work is deeply rooted in the everyday and the lives of women. Among the three cases, environmental protection and sustainable livelihood emerge as common themes. The reasons for choosing these themes are twofold. First, environmental and l…
Christian social discourse in postcolonial Hong Kong
This paper examines Christian social discourse in Hong Kong from 1997 to 2007, in order to reveal the changing identities of Christian communities in the post-colonial setting. I argue that the social discourses and practices of Hong Kong Christians were multivariate. Despite this, two main kinds of discourses and practices can be identified. The first is the “pragmatic model” – which lent support to the Hong Kong SAR government and implicitly ac…

Changing Church and State Relations in Hong Kong, 1950–2000
The transition of the Churches from the traditional colonial setting of Hong Kong in the aftermath of World War II to the mature Christian community of post-industrial, post-colonial Hong Kong is analysed with considerable skill by Beatrice Leung Kit-fun and Shun-hing Chan... The two authors add significantly to our understanding of the dilemmas which confronted not only the Churches in adjusting to the transition from British rule but the wider …
Nationalism and Religious Protest: The Case of the National Day Celebration Service Controversy in the Hong Kong Protestant Churches
The relationship between the government of the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong society since the return of the former British colony to the Mainland has become an important subject for sociological study. The Chinese government made a major effort to promote nationalism in Hong Kong during the transitional period
Negotiating Culture, Economics and Community Politics: The Practice of Lei Yue Mun Tourism in Postcolonial Hong Kong
This article is based on an on-going research project that examines how tourism is constructed in Hong Kong by using the specific tourist spot, Lei Yue Mun, as a case study. The article's aim is to demonstrate how the local agents of a small, squatter-based community with a distinctive history and cultural traditions may, without making any claim to indigenousness or aboriginality, manage a local economy and engage in cultural negotiation at the …
