Chinese Law & Religion Publishing House Releases Two New Titles
(Midland, Tex. – Sept. 12, 2011) Chinese Law & Religion Publishing House has just released two new titles: Ezra Pan’s The Church of Tares in China: An Analysis of the Three-Self Church in China, and A Handbook for Defending Your Rights as a Chinese Citizen, compiled and edited by Li Baiguang.
Based on a wealth of research, evidence and case studies, The Church of Tares in China carefully analyzes and criticizes the “Chinese Christian Three-Self Patriotic Movement” that was meticulously cooked up by the Chinese Communist government, as well as the principles and systems of the organizational mechanisms it set in place. The purpose was actually to control the growth of Christianity in China and through a process of “communization” to create splits within the church and conflicts among Christian believers so as to ultimately ensnare the church in Beijing’s plot. The book’s back cover carries words of praise from renowned house church pastor Samuel Lamb; Fan Yafeng, a constitutional law expert and a pioneer of Christian lawyers using the law to defend human rights; and Thomas Wang, founder of the Great Commission Center International in North America.
The author, Ezra Pan, graduated in December 2009 from the Christian Witness Theological Seminary in California with a master’s of divinity degree. Pan started to practice preaching as a youngster, and later went into full-time ministry work preaching, pastoring, and engaging in theological education and writing. In 2006, he and two other brothers founded the magazine Wheatseeds and served as its editor-in-chief. While he was in seminary, Pan also served as editor of “Evangel Literature, Inc.” in the United States. He also published articles in more than a dozen publications both in China and overseas. Pan is now a full-time minister at the Stillwaters Christian Church in California and editor of “Gospel Operation International for Chinese Christians.”

Saving Pastor Gong

Since Dec 2, 2012, my father Pastor Shengliang Gong had High Blood Pressure and Cerebral Infraction, but he never got the proper medical checkup and adequate treatments. Consequently, my father’s illness got worse and worse. More than once my father almost fell to the ground during last November.
Finally when he got the checkup on November 26th 2013, the doctor said my father’s illness was not very optimistic. He was having Cerebral Infraction, Encephalatrophy, Brain Lesions and Leukoaraiosis, etc. The doctor said that my father needs to have checkup every three months. So we repeatedly requested the prison officials to perform checkup accordingly, once every three months. The prison said that they had one done on April 17th, but refused to release the hospital’s medical treatments records and conclusions to neither my father nor the family members. They would not make any specific statements about my father’s illness. Now, my father and our family have no ideas about the level of his illness.
Since my father illness, previously we could buy some appropriate medicines for him according to his known conditions pieced together from oral communications of diagnosis, after consulting with doctors. Though this won’t amount to totally healing, it was the only way our family could do for him under the circumstances. But now, as the prison withholding medical records from us, we are unable to know his condition and thus cannot providing suitable medicines for him-the very minimum request was denied of us.
The inadequate medical treatments within the prison cannot give my father prompt and sufficient treatments. Yet the prison won’t send him to hospitals outside for necessary treatments and regular checkups, causing further serious damages to his health. The prison won’t allow him the fundamental human rights; they also deprive his right to know about his illness condition. The prison as law enforcement agency behaves illegally. Effectively, they are directly pushing my gravely ill father to dead end street of death.
I appeal to the international communities concerning my father’s health and human rights conditions. Please join us to rally for my father and our family’s rights to medical records and the right to know the situation of my father’s sickness; also his right to have regular medical treatments, thereby saving his life and protect his fundamental rights!!

中國福音化
五十年來，中國大陸的信徒從不到100萬（1949）遽增到八千萬（2000），這是中國五千年來難得的宣教黃金時期；在中國教會裡，也普遍呈現「羊在找牧人」的現象，上帝為中國敞開了大門！現在就是「中國福音化」的關鍵時刻！
教會國度化
教會是基督榮耀的身體，是一切事工的根柢。今日世界各地的基督教宗派都去中國宣教，如何促使海外教會超越宗派主義，中國教會突破山頭主義，共同營造具有「國度觀」的宣教事工，將是中國教會拓展生根的關鍵時刻！
文化基督化
1989年「六四」之後，大批的中國知識分子信主，他們承認了理性的局限性，也不再提「反宗教、反帝國主義」，轉而思考基督教對中國現代化有何貢獻？如今正是因勢利導，以基督思想來影響中國文化，以聖經真理來更新中國文化的關鍵時刻！
