"After the China delegation
left Schuller's cathedral offices in 1991," said
Troy Cory, "the door was wide open to China for Dr.
Robert Schuller." Schuller, the founder of the
Crystal Cathedral located in Garden Grove
California, "was given the opportunity to have as
many Gideon Bibles printed in China, as he wished
to
distribute."

It wasn't until 15 years
later, that Schuller's first meeting with the China
ambassador to the U.S., Wang Xiang, and Troy Cory,
pictured above, was mentioned. "Only a few guests
at this month's special May Day, cathedral Bible
exhibition, had knowledge of the historical meeting
that took place at the cathedral, brought together
by Troy," said a China Expo official.
Some told much of the story
leading up to the accomplishment, that Troy and the
Chinese delegation brought to the cathedral and Dr.
Schuller over 15 years
ago.
"We want to let the people
of the U.S. know that there are real Christians in
China," said the Rev. Cao Shengje, president of the
Shanghai-based China Christian Council, which
sponsored the
exhibition.
The first exhibition of its
kind outside China, the show covered six galleries
in the cathedral's arboretum with more than 50
items related to the history of Christianity in
China, including an "imperial edition" of the Bible
published in 1894 and presented by a group of
Christian women to the Empress Dowager Cixi of the
Qing Dynasty. Among other notable objects: a
65-foot calligraphy scroll called the "Song of
Songs."
"I love you very, very
deeply," the Rev. Robert H. Schuller, the
cathedral's founder, told the gathering of Chinese
dignitaries and visitors at the show's opening
April
21.
"I think that China is going
to change the world because Christ is going to be
known and spread through you," he
said.
The Garden Grove exhibition
closed April 28 and is scheduled to move to Atlanta
for an engagement this month and to New York City
in June.
Although the first Christian
Bible entered China about the year 635, experts
said, it took centuries for its ideas to spread.
During the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s,
according to Shengje, the Bible was banned and
almost all copies of it burned.
It wasn't until I convinced
Beijing officials in 1991, that the best place to
print the Bibles, "would be in the military
printing facilities," Troy said. "The Gideon
officials from Nashville, Wendell McClinton, and
Don Johnson, left the plates with them, and within
four weeks, the Bibles were printed and ready for
distribution to a few selected hotels in Beijing
and Shanghai.
Since that time, the Chinese
government has eased its restrictions on religious
practices in the country, allowing an unlimited
supply of Bibles to be printed, "as long as they
had cash customers," continued
Troy.
Today, Shengje said, there
are about 16 million practicing Christians in China
-- a small percentage of the population "but
growing very
quickly."
Chinese college students
inevitably ask where truth lies, question values
they grew up with and explore other faiths and
nonfaiths, reported a LATimes reporter.
Years of sex abuse scandals
in the Roman Catholic Church didn't keep many
parishioners from going to church, but that didn't
mean their wallets followed, according to a study
released this month, (May, 2006), by the Center for
Applied Research in the Apostolate.
Ten phone polls, seven of
them partly funded by the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops, show little difference in church
attendance from 2001 to 2005. Accusations of sex
abuse within the church began attracting national
coverage in March 2002.
But the percentage of
participants who regularly donated money to their
local parish gradually fell from 78% in January
2001 to 72% in October 2004, though donations saw a
slight rise in October 2005 to 74%.
A third of participants
between 2001 and 2002 said the sexual abuse
scandals were the reason they donated
less.
The sample size of the polls
varied. Researchers contacted about 1,200
self-identified Catholics nationwide in most of the
surveys.
Low Opinion of Atheists
U.S. parents would rather
their child marry a Muslim than settle down with an
atheist, according to a recent study by the
University of
Minnesota.
The survey of 2,081 people
nationwide revealed that atheists top a list of
groups that Americans find "problematic in both
public and private life."
Researchers gave
participants a list of groups -- including
conservative Christians, gays and lesbians, and
recent immigrants -- and asked them which groups
related to their "vision of
America."
Atheists were chosen the
least, with about 40% of participants responding
that atheists "do not at all agree with our vision
of American
society."
Respondents were also asked
about potential spouses for their children, and
atheists brought up the rear again. About 48% said
they would disapprove of their child marrying
one.
Muslims were the second
least-favorable suitors, with about 34% of
respondents saying they'd
disapprove.
Atheists account for about
3% of the U.S. population.
