At present, in China, we can't publish statements about faith on the Internet,This is a new regulation this year.

and we can't buy Bibles on the Internet,this was several years ago. We can only buy Bibles from local churches.

The bad thing is that the church here doesn't know how to set up its own website forum, which is allowed.

We do have some high tech Christians on CC experienced in these things...however, not one of my gifts. 😏

How would a forum (like this) not be constant statements of faith? People are praying for the situation though.

In other words, Christians can't talk about faith on the Internet in China, but this problem doesn't exist on the Internet in other countries

It means that Chinese churches can set up websites and talk about faith on these websites, but they can't talk about faith on other Internet platforms On the Chinese Internet
Thank you.

My post was a suggestion that you could reach out to Robo (founder of CC) or someone here who could give your church advice on setting up a website.

That is not true. I am a Christian and i was also a public school teacher. I have seen teachers fired for what they said on their FB page. They were not speaking on behalf of the school system rather they were sharing their faith and the Bible concerning sin.

Why not set up a special thread for your church or for churches in China on this forum. That would be quick and simple. On that thread many could help assist you set up other websites, etc.
