China Academic Consortium
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

CAC Projects
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.
