International Academic Symposium on Christianity and Modern China’s Social Thoughts, originally scheduled to be held in Japan in October this year, will be postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in Japan and the world, and China's unrelaxed entry-exit policy.
This international seminar was jointly organized by the Center for the Study of Christianity and China in Los Angeles, USA, Fukuoka Jo Gakuin University in Japan, and the Journal of Research for Christianity in China, according to the official WeChat account of Christian Studies.
On May 1, the organizing committee of the symposium issued a statement that 65 receipts and 22 full texts of participating papers had been successively received. However, due to the deliberations of the conference organizing committee, as it might be difficult to hold the symposium in Japan in October this year, this meeting would be postponed indefinitely. The organizing committee would determine the date of the meeting based on the global pandemic situation and immigration policies. As long as relevant conditions permit, the meeting would be immediately held in Fukuoka, Japan.
The statement added that authors who had already sent the full text of the conference paper should not send it again, and the organizing committee will announce the latest meeting date and related matters before the meeting.

“基督教与近代中国社会思潮”国际学术研讨会发布通知，声称，本来将于今年10月份在日本召开，因日本以及全球疫情仍在继续，中国出入境政策仍没有放松，将无限期推迟。
本次国际研讨会由美国洛杉矶基督教与中国研究中心、日本福冈女学院大学和中国基督教研究杂志社联合举办。
5月1日，基督教与近代中国社会思潮会议组委会发布声明，本次会议已经陆续收到回执65份、参会论文全文22份。但由于会议组委会商议认为今年10月份在日本召开会议可能存在较大困难。有鉴于此，本次会议将无限期推迟。组委会将根据全球疫情状况及出入境政策等决定会议召开日期，只要相关条件允许，本次会议将立即在日本福冈举行。
声明补充道，已经发送会议论文全文的作者请勿再发送全文。组委会将在会议召开前公布最新的会议日期，并通知相关事宜。敬请密切关注网站（ChineseCS.cc）及微信公众号（ChristianStudies）。
