[quote=GUEST33187,385361]I looked up some information. I understand that as a "registered church" as member of the three recognized church organizations in China, local Chinese are not allowed to be evangelized by foreigners. Well, I still wonder whether its not possible a) to employ a pastor of Chinese citizenship and therefore fulfill the requirement that other local Chinese churches also seem to meet and b) why the drive to be a registered church seemed to be more important than reaching out to Chinese. It seems nowadays, especially in Shanghai, that local authorities have no issues with permitting a group of people to meet in order to study the bible. At least this does not seem to violate any federal nor state nor city laws. But I am happy to stand corrected by anybody with more knowledge and proper references. Again, I have no intention whatsoever to violate any Chinese laws. Quite the opposite, I believe that a group gathering to study the bible promotes peace, good ethical values which seems to be in full agreement with what the Chinese government is currently striving for.
