Summary/Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between the Chinese state and Protestantism. It demonstrates that it varies widely from place to place; moreover, the actual relationship between individual churches and the local authorities that are supposed to govern them paints a quite different picture from that implied by the laws and regulations. The paper also argues that the state faces a dilemma: On one hand it feels threatened by the appearance of autonomous organizations such as unregistered churches, while on the other it values the contributions they make to society and recognizes that subjecting them to the Three-Self Patriotic Movement and China Christian Council would require a good deal of force and be very socially disruptive.

Summary/Abstract

TODAY, THE MASS MEDIA all over the world, Russia being no exception, are very much concerned with the relations between religion and the state. Foreign Affairs, a respectable thick journal, writes about new trends in the United States where disagreements between the Catholics and Protestants are no longer the talk of the day; confrontation between the conservative believers and secular progressivists has become the public's staple topic. This is a renaissance of sorts: in the United States the current extent of party-based religious mobilization has been unknown since the mid-19th century.
