Religious liberalism, international politics, and diasporic relaities: the Chinese Students Christian Association of North America, 1909-1951
Article Abstract:
The Chinese Students Christian Assn of North America was established in 1909 with the financial support from the Young Men's Christian Assn's International Committee and Committee on Friendly Relations. Its organization was influenced by Chinese students' belief that Christianity is the key to economic and military dominance and cultural superiority. The Chinese Protestants thought that by bringing western religion into their country, this will help bring national development. However, they were proven wrong, and thus, the organization was dissolved in 1951.

The American social gospel and the Chinese YMCA
Article Abstract:
The groups of missionaries sent by the Young Men's Christian Assn (YMCA) to China in the 1920s were different from any other foreign missionary groups. YMCA groups, which are composed of nondogmatic and service-oriented men. transformed itself to become an indigenous movement that is supported and managed by the Chinese. Although they want to change social order through religion and promote racial equality, the YMCA missionaries strove to assimilate Chinese culture.
