About this Event
Launch Event - Cambridge Centre for Chinese Theology
The Cambridge Centre for Chinese Theology was established in 2025, following a generous donation from Lux Mundi Inc (USA). Professor David Fergusson and Dr Ximian Simeon Xu are its founding Co-Directors.
The dramatic growth of both Chinese Christianities and the churches of global Chinese diasporas is generating increased interaction between Western and Chinese theological academia. However, extensive cross-cultural collaboration in the UK remains underdeveloped. The Centre aims to advance Chinese theology understood in the broadest sense through addressing the context and concerns of Chinese Christians, the study of theological work emerging from China and the Chinese diaspora, and the facilitating of closer links between theologians from the West and those in China and elsewhere in Asia. It seeks to facilitate global and cross-cultural dialogue on Chinese theologies and serve as an interface between Western and East Asian theological institutions and scholars.
You are warmly invited to join us at the official Launch Event for the Cambridge Centre for Chinese Theology for an afternoon filled with interesting talks and lectures, followed by a Drinks Reception to celebrate the opening of the CCCT.
