Generational Legacies

In the fall of 2019, the Center on Religion and Chinese Society (now the Center on Religion and the Global East) at Purdue University issued a call for applications for a symposium on the family in Chinese Christianity, to be held in May 2020. My own fieldwork and archival research on Protestantism in South Fujian had continuously pointed out to me the significance of family as integral to understanding Chinese Christians, both in the past and today. Interest in the topic from other scholars was apparent, as we received dozens of applications to attend the symposium. Unfortunately, the global pandemic thwarted our plans, but the enthusiastic response prompted the crafting of this special issue. In early 2021, a call for papers for this special issue was announced. Again, the response from scholars revealed a great interest in the topic, as we received many full-paper submissions. Five scholars were chosen to attend a virtual workshop in April 2021 to discuss their papers and the general theme. The revised versions of these papers are presented here in this special issue
