- **Event Description**: A Foreign Friend or an Indigenous Prophet? The Dilemma of Public Theology in China through the Lens of Y. T. Wu’s ThoughtAbout this EventGuest lecture by Dr Luping Huang, followed by drinks reception.This lecture examines the thought of Y. T. Wu (1893-1979), a pivotal Chinese Christian thinker, to explore the challenges of public theology in modern China. Wu’s intellectual evolution—from Social Gospel pacifism to a synthesis with Communism—exemplifies a relentless effort to make Christianity relevant to China's social transformation and national salvation. He argued that faith must address societal ills, positioning Christianity as a force for public good. However, Wu's project reveals a core dilemma: while his advocacy for indigenization (e.g., the Three-Self Movement) successfully aligned the church with national goals, it also risked subsuming Christian distinctiveness under a nationalist narrative. By over-emphasizing identification with the mainstream, Wu's approach arguably diminished the tradition's critical, "prophetic" capacity to challenge society from its position as a minority faith. This lecture argues that a sustainable Chinese public theology must navigate a delicate balance between cultural integration and critical distance, a tension central to Wu's enduring legacy.
