I just read an article in the Atlantic about emerging and growing suburbia in China and how it relentlessly eats into the farming country around the metropolises. I wonder what this might mean for the vibrant Chinese house church scene (if anything). Over here suburbia has led to a marked preference for big box temples. That is hardly an option in China, I imagine (I'm speaking as someone who is entirely ignorant about China). So I'm just wondering about the future of the church scene in China, given their move to expand their large cities by multiplying suburbia at break-neck speed. It will be fascinating to watch. (No reply needed. I'm just thinking out loud...) Glen - This is not directly about your post, just Asia (or China) in general.
