Another return! I so often fall behind on posting, because of so many other things that occupy my time! I realized, after spending some weeks traveling for conferences and other things, that I should get back to writing a few more pieces about China, and show some of the interesting images I took from that trip. Here are a few more images from Shanghai, and a visit to the China Christian Council there. There were only a few on staff the morning I visited, but I received a pleasant welcome, exchanged gifts, and got a very nice tour of the campus, church, and book store. Perhaps one of the most intriguing images I found was a defiled Latin inscription, which had been hacked at during the Cultural Revolution (see images below). The book store of the CCC is plentiful--it has thousands of titles, many of which are not shipped abroad. I was impressed with their offerings and the various activities they conduct. Here is a sampling of my photographs that day. (This was last July, and I figured it was time to share more of this trip!)
