| Introduction : |
In Challenges and Hopes, Bishop John Tong connects the love and suffering of Catholic
clergy and laity to the miracles of
St. John's
Gospel and the petitions of the Our Father. After this narrative theology, Bishop
Tong sketches the years from 1949 through 1999, periods of control and persecution,
then finally the revival of religion in
China
. Beginning in the 1980s, the church in
Hong Kong
was able to act as a bridge church through the three visits by Cardinal Wu, Caritas
social service projects, and the Holy Spirit Study Centre. The book contains eight pages of photos. |
