Problematyka dialogu chrześcijaństwa z kulturą chińską

Journal Title: Studia Nauk Teologicznych PAN - Year 2010, Vol 5, Issue

Abstract

This article focuses on an extremely urgent problem of today’s Christian dialogue with China, i.e. the culture (and politics) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and asks whether a Christian dialogue with China – which understand herself as an atheist and Communist state, which, however, is a country of many religious traditions, is possible, and if so in what form? What are its prospects and challenges? The starting point of the article, after some historical remarks, is a kind of heterotopy of the dialogue in Chinese context, involving (III.1.) the historical and political context, then (III.2) its partners, and finally (III.3) its forms and contents. In this framework, this article is (IV) reflection on the challenges, opportunities and prospects of the Christian dialogue with Chinese culture. This reflection is not taken here from the standpoint of theology, but is rather a phenomenological description of the status quo. At the end of the article (V) some statements of Pope John Paul II with regard to the dialogue of Christianity with Chinese culture are quoted as a kind of summary. The article states a great asymmetry of partners of the dialogue in China caused by the restrictive religious policy. There are some forms of dialogue which, however, are realized outside of the institutionalized Christianity, i.e. the Christian Churches. The Churches themselves, due to their historical background, are not very interested in or prepared for an inter-religious dialogue.
