ALT Review from Kwok Pui-lan of Episcopal Divinity School in the USA, saying: This pioneering book offers a rich and multi-layered portrait of British Chinese Christianity on the broad canvas of British colonialism, Sino-British relations, anti-Chinese racism, immigration, Hong Kongese identity, Christian mission, transnational networks, and denominational and generational differences. It makes a critical contribution to studying the changing landscape of British church history and world Christianity.

ALT Review from Marty Snow, Bishop of Leicester, saying: This is an invaluable resource in our continued discernment of the future shape of God’s church in the United Kingdom. Even as patterns of migration have shifted, so have our understandings of culture, mission and ecclesiology. The theme of hospitality runs through many of the chapters of this book, and with it the pertinent question of who now is the guest and who is the host – and how are both transformed by their encounter as fellow members of God’s household?

ALT Review from Henry Lu of Chinese Overseas Christian Mission, saying: This is an important work that deserves our attention. It discusses the challenges and opportunities facing UK Chinese churches. Particularly significant is the inclusion of perspectives from younger-generation practitioners. The breadth of topics covered reflects the rich diversity within the British Chinese Christian community. I highly recommend it.
