Foreword:

 
Greetings! We are China Christian Daily, the first comprehensive English Christian news website about the church in China. Thank you for your sincere love, prayer for, and contributions to the Chinese church.

As the coronavirus has killed one million people globally, how should the church preach the gospel to save more souls in the post-pandemic era? In a "new normal" of socially distancing, we may use social networks, reflect on the roles of the church, and equip families to explore new ways to have influence. We also need to hear feedback from those who leave the church out of disappointment during this difficult time.

You can also read trending news as well as features such as as a story of men's fellowships thriving in Fujian and China's first Catholic Cardinal.
