China Lutheran Seminary

Research Center for Traditional Chinese Religions and New Religious Movements

Due to the prevalence of traditional beliefs and

new religions, the churches in Taiwan are called

 to face the challenges of dialogue and to testify

the Gospel. CLS established the Research Center

Movements in 1995. It is devoted to the study of

and dialogue with other religious groups. The Research

 seminars, conducting meetings and offering personal

consultations.

   movements.

2. Being a bridge between other religions and the Gospel.

3. Cultivate the expertise in religious study and dialogue.

 4. Collect update religious information and offer consultations.
