Dr. Diane Obenchain presents “The Role of Confucian and Christian Dialogue in the China Puzzle”. Family is at the core of all spheres of Chinese civilization. What has been called “Confucianism” in the West builds upon family relations, but also goes beyond the family to provide rectification/correction of certain tendencies in family relations. Family is also at the core of Western civilizations as well. Christian faith builds upon family relations, but also goes beyond the family to provide rectification/correction of certain family tendencies.

During our time together, we will:

• Examine Chinese family relations, Confucian moral transformation of family relations, and Christian moral transformation of family relations.

• Seek to discover what is shared in common and what is different in Confucian and Christian moral transformation of the family.

• Close with a discussion of how we can work together in areas of shared common interest.
