During the establishment of the new regime of the Communist Party of China in the 1950s, Wenzhou Christians, in the experience of various political movements, showed anti-imperialist patriotism. The pastors sought to keep the church alive in the new China, accepting political positions in exchange for space for religious activities. However, the policy forms of the Communist Party of China and the government have fluctuated to a certain extent. Especially in the period of 1956 to 1957, Christian religious activities in Wenzhou set off a gathering craze. Meanwhile, the letters from Wenzhou Christians to The Bible Magazine Hong Kong show that Christians still strive for faith life in the midst of political movements. To a certain extent, Wenzhou churches neither absolutely obey nor openly confront the government's religious policies, but maintain religious belief in daily life, showing that they do not succumb to the political embedding of religious belief. Thus, from the trial of“religion-free zones”to the increasingly fixed form of political fluctuations in the Cultural Revolution, Wenzhou Christians active religious activities are traceable. This paper shows the dynamic process of Christianity in Wenzhou and the possibility of continuation of faith autonomy. |
