Humanitarian Efforts and the Legacy of Colonialism

We don’t hear much about Quakers in China, but from the very early days of the faith, Friends felt called to go to the Far East. 

On today’s episode, we explore the history of Quaker missionaries in China — both evangelical and liberal — as they lived and worked amid wars, internal conflict, and the rise of the Chinese Communist Party. And we ask, how can Friends renew their concern for this region?
