The 1040 team recently dug up a fascinating article from the Christianity Today archive: This 2006 story describes the state of Christianity with respect to the working class of Taiwan- one of the key economic centers in Asia and a place where the Christian population remains under 5%. How can the preaching of the Gospel be contextualized and effectively delivered to individuals in varying cultural and social contexts? How can we be the presence of Christ to others, especially those who are not used to Western, traditional means of evangelism? This article raises some crucial questions:

Taiwan marks 500th anniversary of John Calvin

admin — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 18:17:03 +0000

Churches in Taiwan are marking the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin, one of the most prominent theologians of the Protestant Reformation.

Across the small island nation seminars, exhibitions and special courses are being held to debate and educate about the life, teachings and legacy of John Calvin.

Last week Taiwan Theological College and Seminary opened an exhibit entitled “Calvin and Taiwan” dealing with the legacy of John Calvin and his impact on churches in Taiwan.

According to Worldwide Faith News, officials at the seminary are hoping the exhibit will help churches to come to know more about John Calvin.

In the south of Taiwan, one presbytery introduced a three month book club for people interested in knowing more about Calvin’s theology. The club is being held from March through to June in one local church and is being sponsored by the Chiayi presbytery and by the Taiwan Theological College.

It has been reported that over 60 people from 20 different churches attended the club in its first session. Many from the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan said how they felt it was important to know the basic teachings of Calvin to pass on his legacy.

The success of the book club has led to plans to transform it into a continuing education course at Taiwan Theological College.

John Calvin was born in France in 1509, but spent much of his life in the city of Geneva. His biggest contributions to Protestant theology were the doctrines on Predestination and the Sovereignty of God.

In Geneva itself a number of events are planned to mark the birth of the man who has become inextricably linked with the city.

On Pentecost Sunday a thanksgiving service will be held in the adopted church of Calvin in Geneva’s St Pierre’s Cathedral. In addition a conference of over 140 international scholars will be held in May, on the influence of Calvin from his birth down to the present day.

The World Alliance of Reformed Churches, based in Geneva, will also be inviting pastors and elders of Presbyterian and Reformed churches to take part in its “Calvin Jubilee Celebration”.

Museums in and near the city will also be opening special exhibitions about the life of Calvin, his works and his theology.
