Shanxi Church Hosts Calligraphy Exhibition of Scriptures

山西省晋城市基督教一直认真贯彻“双暂停”，保障了晋城基督教界的安全有序。

4月17日复活节当日，为满足信徒的信仰生活需求，晋城市城区基督教倡导信徒以硬笔、软笔，楷书、行书、草书等多种笔体书写圣言，正信正行，开展了复活节庆祝活动。

书法是一门古老的汉字书写艺术，被誉为“无言的诗，无形的舞；无图的画，无声的乐”，此次以方块字书写基督教信仰的尝试，不仅激发了广大信徒对书法的兴趣，丰富了教会的信仰生活，是基督教中国化的一次探索。

To celebrate Easter Sunday, a church in north China’s Shanxi Province held a calligraphy exhibition of holy word.

On Easter 2022, Cheng District Church in Jincheng City which suspended all onsite gatherings invited believers to write scriptures using a fountain pen and Chinese brush pen, as well as in the regular script, running script, and cursive handwriting.

Being an ancient Chinese art of writing, Chinese calligraphy is known as "wordless poetry, formless dance, unsighted painting, and silent music". “Apart from stimulating believers' interest in calligraphy, the attempt to write verses with square characters enriches the church life and explores the development of Christianity in China today”, according to the church.
