Humble Chinese House Church Pastor Moses Xie Finds His Rest
This brief eulogy recalls the life and influence of Moses Xie, a patriarch in the 20th century Chinese church who endured more than two decades of imprisonment for his refusal to cooperate with the Three Self Patriotic Movement following its formation in the early 1950s.

He passed away in June of 2011, and this was published in Church China Journal in July of 2011.
