%X The current era is both exciting and confusing. A lot of changes are going on in China. There are both crises and opportunities. In this essay, I want to introduce many exciting recent developments of contemporary Christianity in China. All the developments show that the Chinese church is already taking deeper and deeper roots in China, and there are a lot of opportunities for the church to participate in culture and society. Many Chinese, both common people and intellectuals, have a renewed appreciation of the strength and relevance of the Christian faith, and many others are crying out for something that can satisfy their spiritual longing. Yes, indeed many people are searching for God, or perhaps it is God Himself who has been actively searching for the Chinese since very early times. Key words: Christianity, Chinese culture, contemporary China R¨¦sum¨¦: L'¨¦poque actuelle est ¨¤ la fois passionnant et d¨¦routant. De nombreuses changements sont en cours en Chine. Il existe en m¨ºme temps des crises et des opportunit¨¦s. Dans cet essai, je tiens ¨¤ pr¨¦senter le r¨¦cent d¨¦veloppement excitant du Christianisme contemporain en Chine. Tous les d¨¦veloppements montrent que l¡¯¨¦glise chinoise s¡¯est d¨¦j¨¤ enracin¨¦e de plus en plus profond¨¦ment en Chine, et il y a beaucoup de opportunit¨¦s pour l'¨¦glise de participer ¨¤ la culture et la soci¨¦t¨¦. Beaucoup de chinois, le populaire et les intellectuels, ont une appr¨¦ciation r¨¦novatrice de la force et la pertinence de la foi Chr¨¦tienne, et beaucoup d'autres ont cruellement besoin de quelque chose qui peut satisfaire leur d¨¦sirs spirituels. Oui, en effet, de nombreuses personnes sont ¨¤ la recherche de Dieu, ou peut-¨ºtre c'est Dieu lui-m¨ºme qui cherchait activement pour les Chinois depuis tr¨¨s longtemps. Mots-Cl¨¦s: Christianisme, Culture chinoise, la Chine contemporaine
