| Resumo: | The simultaneous spread of social media and the upgrading of censorship techniques in mainland China are shaping a pluralistic but contentious cyberspace. Within this context, Chinese Protestantism is adapting to new freedoms in cyberspace but also demonstrating limits in welcoming pluralism. Historical baggage of antagonism within Protestantism in mainland China remains influential in setting competing camps of Protestant believers on different narratives with regard to the communist regime and tolerance towards other religions. The Chinese Protestant diaspora also plays an important role in perpetuating these divisions. A theologically rooted ethics of public discourse is needed for Chinese Protestantism to move on from de facto diversity to embracing a true vision of covenantal pluralism. |
