Chuan, a 13 year-old boy from the far west province of Gansu, was rummaging through a trash bin in a corner inside the Zhengzhou train station.

Current Ideological Trends in China How Should The Church Respond? (March 27, 2013, Lausanne Global Conversation)
In discussion of the social and political status of Christianity in China, the relationship of the churches and the government naturally takes centre stage.
