An excerpt from an article of the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury:
"growing number of influential intellectuals and academics who see in Christianity part of the blueprint for China's modernisation. Some of them believe indigenous religions, such as Taoism and Buddhism, with their pragmatism and assumption of human goodness, do not have the same ability as Christianity to produce the realistic, self-critical and long-term strategies that China needs in a globalised world. "
"It used to be said by Chinese politicians of this Western faith, "one more Christian - one fewer Chinese". Now, they are more likely to say "one more Christian - one fewer criminal".
"The approval may sound grudging, but it illustrates the official change in heart towards the Christian minority, and what could eventually be the largest national church in the world. "
hmmmm...
