Modern church, more religious freedom
Beijing- People in China are enjoying "much better" religious freedom than before and over 70 percent of those attending services at the Beijing Haidian Christian Church are young people, says Pastor Wu Weiqing of the newly-built church.

The all-white building looks like an exhibition studio than a religious institution, with long white beams encircling the structure. A tall white cross stands in the covered stairway to the entrance to the church, while a sign on top says "Christian Church". Off to the side is a tall bell tower, also in white.

A very interesting article that freely references the growth of Christianity in China. Great photos of an intriguingly modern Church, opened on May 31 to replace a historic structure that had been outgrown. This Church is in a city called part of China's "Silicon Valley."

I continue to see a real effort to improve religious freedom in China.
