Provide for a Specialized Translator

Provide for a Specialized Translator

We realize that quality translators will be essential to the success of the symposium. Finding quality specialized simultaneous translators who can understand theological language with both fluent Chinese to English and English to Chinese (who are available) has been a challenge. We have found a few qualified translators who are willing and available, but need housing, transportation and a stipend support. Please consider supporting top quality simultaneous translators!

About This Project

Theme: Christian Faith & 21st Century

*Convening top thinkers on China
*Presenting cutting-edge research and analysis
*Addressing the most pressing issues for China Christianity in the 21st Century

The Fifth Annual China Theology Symposium will be held from August 22 - 24, 2012 on the campus of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts.  Important scholars and Christian leaders from both China and the West will dialogue on issues related to the church in China, from culture and theology to society and missions.

With hopes to diffuse recent tensions between Christianity and Confucianism, a special section will be dedicated to deal with issues related to Christianity and China's traditional culture.  Leading academic proponents of contemporary Confucianism have been invited.

The goal of the meeting is to promote a rich dialogue across the boundaries of East and West, as well as of academy and church, on the topic of Christianity in China.  

The conference is by invitation only.
