Abstract

This chapter discusses the leaders of the reinstated Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) and the newly formed China Christian Council (CCC), known together as the lianghui (‘two associations’), and their initiatives as Christian intellectuals since the early 1980s. During this period, the state-sanctioned TSPM and CCC are seen as the only means in which Protestantism could viably engage the state and the society. Such an opportunity was not wasted by leaders of the lianghui. The chapter looks at the theological contributions of figures such as the Anglican K. H. Ting (Ding Guangxun) and the evangelical Wang Weifan, and the development of the faith-based NGO, the Amity Foundation.
