Chinese Want To Run Their Own Churches Says Missionary

John R. Linton of the China Inland Mission says Chinese desire control of their own Christian churches without foreign missionaries. He spoke Tuesday at his brother in law Dr Hi. 8 Siigley’s home in Syracuse during a week’s visit. He and his wife, long-time missionaries in western China, took a one year furlough after twenty years abroad. He argued China may sustain churches locally and that foreign missions should focus on unreached regions if Chinese churches prove capable. He blamed anti foreign sentiment on the view that missionaries represent governments. He warned against imperialism and noted brigandage and recent church disruption in Sadchuoa province during his time in China.
