Join Christendom College professor Dr. Christopher Lane for his lecture on Inculturation and the Evangelization of China. From the time of the apostles, the deposit of faith has formed and transformed cultures, lived out uniquely across various cultures. This lecture will explore how Catholicism took root in China, forming a new Chinese Catholic culture, and how cultural practices gave rise to conflict among Catholics in the Chinese Rites controversy and the effects of that controversy in the 20th century. The great Jesuit missionary Servant of God Matteo Ricci and his friend Servant of God Xu Guangqi, as well as the prime minister of China turned Benedictine monk, Dom Pierre-Célestin Lu, will also be subjects of discussion in this lecture.
