CHURCHES AND CHINA’S RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION

In this excerpt of my book in The Atlantic, I introduce on of China’s most charismatic pastors, Wang Yi.

Based in Chengdu, Wang Yi is part of a new wave of large urban churches that are not part of the government-run religious system but instead are independent–sometimes in the past called “underground” or “house” churches. Read the excerpt to meet Wang and this new wave of churches.
