Presented a paper entitled "Prayer and Tears against Dryness in Humanity: Watchman Nee and Jing Dianying’s Spiritualities and Their Interaction with China’s Spirit World” at this year's SPS conference.

Nee writes poetically: "If our prayers are seasoned with tears, they will be answered much sooner. Many prayers are heartless prayers because there are no tears in them."

Jing, the founder of the Jesus Family movement, states, "Prayer without tears is dry!"

My gratitude goes to Dr. Amos Yong for organizing this panel, and Dr. Xiaoli Yang and Dr. Alex Mayfield for reviewing our books.

A fascinating new volume translating all remaining medieval Chinese Christian ("Jingjao") documents has just been published and is FREE. This Christian community goes back to 635 AD when Alopen, by edict of the Tang Emperor, was given permission to preach
