State Administration for Religious Affairs
In 2010 the first holy church in Shenzhen was officially registered as a non-governmental non-profit ("fēi qǐyè" 非企业) organisation of public interest ("gōngyì" 公益) affiliated with the Federation of Confucian Culture of Qufu City. The Holy Church maintains close relations with local government officials and high-ranking dignitaries of the State Administration for Religious Affairs attend its ceremonies. The national and international body, the Holy Confucian Church of China, was finally established in late 2015.
