Building Sino-Reformed Future/s: Sources, Churches, and Theological Education across China, Taiwan, and the Diaspora

This roundtable brings together leading scholars who are helping to shape the next phase of conversation around Sino-Reformed theology. The panel centers three interrelated areas:

1. the distance—sometimes productive, sometimes disruptive—between the Dutch and European traditions of Neo-Calvinism and the ways those traditions are received among Chinese-speaking Christians;
2. the translational, curricular, and institutional channels through which Reformed sources move; and
3. ecclesiology and theological education as arenas in which communities imagine, contest, and materialize future possibilities.

Framed by the AAR theme “FUTURE/S,” this panel treats Reformed futures not as a single trajectory but as multiple, sometimes competing, visions shaped by location, memory, language, and lived ecclesial practice across mainland China, Taiwan, and the diaspora.
