Pastor: Believers Need to Update Concepts of "Sunday Services in Buildings" to Push Church Transformation in Post-Pandemic Era

"Many believers still can't accept services without a lobby because, without a gathering place, people would feel that their church has come to an end." A pastor in eastern China said, "Back to Jesus' teaching. Jesus did not limit the Christian connection to the church. The way of church gatherings can be in a specific period, and different gatherings and living styles should be adopted. It is time to revise Jesus' teaching."

Rev. Chen Yilu, the executive deputy-president of Nanjing Union Theological Seminary, presided over the commencement ceremony on June 25, 2021.
