The staff of a church in Zhejiang Province, on the southeast coast of China, visited the Memorial Hall of T.C. Chao.
On the morning of April 21, a group of 38 pastoral fellow workers from Jiaojiang Church went to visit T.C. Chao Memorial Hall in Xinshi Church in Deqing County, Huzhou City, and communicated with the local church about the sinicization of Christianity, according to Jiaojiang Church. T.C. Zhao was one of the leading Protestant theologians and served as the Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Soochow University.
The director of Jiaojiang Church shared, “Through visiting and communication, our staff workers know more clearly that the sinicization of Christianity had already begun before our country’s liberation movement, and all its practices now are the continuation of the predecessors. Let us truly understand the sinicization of Christianity, and the gospel’s development is inevitable on the soil of China. As pastoral workers in the new era, we must learn from Mr. Chao to persist in the true faith, bear the love of Jesus Christ deeply in us, integrate it into society, glorify God, and edify people.”
Recently, members of Jinshan District CC&TSPM, church leaders, and believers in the district of Shanghai, also paid a visit to Xinshi Church and its memorial hall for the influential theologian, reported Shanghai CC&TSPM.

中国东南沿海的浙江省的一个教堂到赵紫宸先生纪念馆参观。
据椒江堂，4月21日上午，椒江堂教牧同工一行38人前往湖州市德清县新市教堂参观赵紫宸先生纪念馆，就基督教中国化的话题开展座谈交流。赵紫宸先生是中国基督教新教神学家，历任东吴大学文学院院长。
椒江堂主任分享，“通过参观与交流，同工进一步了解基督教中国化在解放前曾经提出进行过，现在所实践基督教中国化是承接先辈的继续。让我们真正认识到基督教中国化，基督教福音在中国的土壤中是必然趋势。我们作为新时代的教牧同工要学习赵紫宸先生坚持纯正信仰，坚持基督博爱融入自己、融入社会，荣神益人。”
据上海市基督教两会，近日，金山区基督教两会班子成员、各场所负责人以及部分信徒骨干，赴浙江省德清县新市镇教会参观学习。
