Huaxiang Christian Centre / INUCE ? Dirk U. Moench
Repression and Rebirth: A Christian Minority in a Typical Chinese CitySince its construction in 1938 Huaxiang Church became witness to radical transformations: From decades of deterioration to unprecedented urban growth; from complete suppression of religion to a ten-fold growth in the number of Christians. Today, it finds itself in a maze of high-rises. In need for additional space, its congregation decided to build a community centre adjacent to the church.
