Hong Kong: City of Protests, City of God? (original) (raw)

The paper explores the complex relationship between Hong Kong's Christian community and its vibrant protest culture, particularly during significant movements such as the 1989 protests, the Occupy Central Movement, and the 2019 anti-Extradition Bill protests. It highlights how different theological interpretations and personal convictions led to varied responses among Christians, ranging from active support of the protests to calls for submission to authorities. Through an analysis of historical and contemporary events, the paper underscores the role of faith in shaping both political engagement and theological discourse within the context of social justice and civil rights.
