Imperial to International Sheng Kung Hui: Historical Studies of Anglican Christianity in China The Anglican (and Episcopal) tradition has been present in China for almost two hundred years. The purpose of this series is to publish scholarly, well-researched and authoritative volumes on the history of the Sheng Kung Hui (‘Holy Catholic Church’), with an emphasis on its life and work in Chinese society. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, separate volumes in this series will include studies of particular people and institutions, as well as studies of the broader intellectual and social significance of Anglican involvement in Chinese history.
