| Introduction: |
Challenges and Hopesshows the ability of Bishop John Tong to connect the love and suffering of Catholic clergy and laity to the miracles of John's Gospel and the petitions of the Our Father. After this narrative theology, Bishop Tong sketches the years from 1949 through 1999, periods of control and persecution, then finally the revival of religion in China. Beginning in the 1980' s, the church in Hong Kong was able to act as a bridge church through the three visits by Cardinal Wu, Caritas social service projects, and the Holy Spirit Study Centre. With eight pages of photos. |
