Church of Christ in China : ウィキペディア英語版 | Church of Christ in China The Church of Christ in China () was a coalition of churches in mainland China, which held its first general assembly in Shanghai in October 1927 with Cheng Jingyi as its first moderator. It was initially known as the Presbyterian Church of China () since it brought together a number of Presbyterian and Reformed churches. However, it was renamed after it invited other church bodies in China to join the union. At the first general assembly in 1927, the following groups joined the union: * American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions * Baptist Missionary Society * Church of Scotland * London Missionary Society * Presbyterian Church in Korea * Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (North) * Presbyterian Church in the United States (South) * Presbyterian Church of England * Presbyterian Church of Ireland * Presbyterian Church of New Zealand * Reformed Church in America * Reformed Church in the United States * South Fujian Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church * United Brethren in Christ * United Church of Canada The fourth general assembly was held in Qingdao in 1937, with a total of 16 synods, 85 associations, 2842 local churches, 454 ordained ministers and approximately 130,000 communicants. The next one was never materialized due to the outbreak of World War II. After the Communist Party of China took over mainland China, the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China was reorganized in 1953, and is the only subdivision of the Church of Christ in China that is still running. == See also ==
