I grew up in a village church in Shandong province. More than 20 years ago, there were not more than 20 Catholic Bibles shared among the 500-600 parish members. In those days, church members would read the Bible aloud through the amplifiers for the rest of the congregation to listen to God’s Word. A Bible, to me, was a rare and precious commodity. This leads me to share with you an incident in 2002… Then I was still working at the Beijing Catholic Seminary. ]]> http://www.ubscp.org/catholics-shandong/feed/ 0
