Nanjing Union Theological Seminary

The Nanjing Union Theological Seminary (simplified Chinese: 金陵协和神学院; traditional Chinese: 金陵協和神學院; pinyin: Jīnlíng xiéhé shénxuéyuàn) is the flagship theological seminary of Protestant Christianity in China today.

Prior to the founding of the People's Republic of China, the institution had its beginnings as Nanking Theological Seminary, established in 1911.

[1] However, Christian affiliated schools and seminaries suffered during the Japanese Invasion, and many were unofficially moved into unoccupied areas of Free China.

[2] In early 1952, the Three-Self Patriotic Movement worked to reform theological education.

The PRC government saw Christianity as a potentially subversive power and seminaries lost funds from overseas denominations.
