Whitworth University Scholarly Symposium (19-21 April 2021): "Sino-Christian Architecture: Scholars Respond to Adelbert Gresnigt, OSB (1877-1956) - Talks and Colloquies on the Topic of Christian Churches in China: Design, Use, and Representation." 

This series of talks engages the issue of Christian church architecture in China in an open-ended fashion, anchored only in a common reading of two essays written by the Dutch Benedictine monk and church architect, Adelbert Gresnigt, OSB, who studied Chinese architecture and formulated his own theories about what he called a “Sino-Christian” synthesis. Each scholar presents her or his talk on a topic related to Christian church architecture in China, which is followed by a response by another scholar and open questions. (Organized and moderated by Dr. Anthony E. Clark)
