Purpose
The purpose of the China Academic Consortium (CAC) is to promote
goodwill and understanding between North Americans and Chinese through
academic exchanges in the field of Christianity studies.
Mission Statement
As Protestant representatives of the Christian faith, which is based
particularly on Scripture, and also on traditions, reason and experience,
we seek to make contributions to China and her intellectual community
in the belief that these Christian resources are relevant to Chinese
culture and modern society. We, therefore, form this Consortium
to work cooperatively with universities and research institutions
in China, to study and research the foundation of Christianity,
its traditions, as well as its impact throughout human history,
with particular emphasis on Chinese society, past and present.
Teacher requests from Religious Studies Programs
Short-term faculty exhange
CAC links Western teachers and lecturers to religious studies
departments of Chinese universities. CAC also invites Chinese faculty
to educational institutions in the United States and Canada for
their own scholarship development and enrichment.
Library Project
CAC provides books to religious studies programs in China
for use by students and faculty.
International Conferences
CAC organizes and sponsors international conferences focused on
comparative values and ethics studies.
Annotated Bibliography
While many Chinese publishers have published books related to Christianity,
the limited number of printed copies of these books, along with
their limited distribution, makes it difficult for China's academic
institutions and overseas research institutions to discover these
rich resources. For this reason, CAC has undertaken the task of
systematically collecting and summarizing these books. CAC will
soon maintain an annotated bibliography of Chinese scholars' publications
in China and post it on this web site.
