The Chinese-Christian Cultural Dilemma-A Christian approach to Chinese Ancestral Worship

Abstract

The problems between the doctrines in Christianity and practices in Chinese culture have been prevalent since ancient times. With the revival of religions in China in the 21st century, it is pertinent to address the conflicts and foster understanding between Chinese converts and non-converts on issues concerning Chinese Ancestral Worship. The focus of this paper is to explore the major areas of conflict and to attempt to find possible reconciliation from the Christian perspective.
