3) Free Lecture: China’s Earliest Christians
The event titled “China’s Earliest Christians: Who Were They and What Can We Learn from Them?” is a free lecture taking place at Nazareth Hall, University of Northwestern – St. Paul, on March 20, 2025. The lecture will be delivered by Dr. Glen Thompson, a Professor Emeritus at Asia Lutheran Seminary in Hong Kong. Dr. Thompson will discuss the discovery of a great stone stele near modern-day Xi’an in 1625, which revealed the presence of Christians in Tang Dynasty China during the 700s. This lecture aims to explore the beliefs and contributions of these early Christians and how their story can inspire the modern church in China. The event will start with light refreshments at 6:15 PM, followed by the lecture and a Q&A session at 7:00 PM. Although there will be no live stream, registrants will receive a link to the recording.
