Heilongjiang Theological Seminary held an online seminar on "Theology of Thanksgiving" and the localization of Christianity.
At the meeting held on October 13, Rev. Lu Dezhi, the dean of the school, elaborated on how to insist on the Sinicization of Christianity, help enhance China’s cultural soft power, and deepen the studies of the "Theology of Thanksgiving" (or "Theology" for short). He also expounded on how to integrate traditional Chinese culture into Christian theology and make the practice of indigenization of Christianity serve socialist cultural construction.
Professor You Bin, dean of the School of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Minzu University of China, was invited to provide guidance on the direction of the efforts of the "Theology" at a political level, theological level, and social level. He pointed out that "Theology", as one of the core doctrines of Christianity, was compatible with the excellent traditional Chinese culture. When adhering to the principle of developing Christianity in the Chinese context, if Christians combined the construction of theological education disciplines with "Theology", "Theology" would have Chinese cultural characteristics, added Prof. You.
During the seminar, the faculty of the seminary also exchanged views on how to improve the culture of gratitude, the promotion of the mechanism of theological thought construction, and the output of achievements in related disciplines.
