Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui (traditional Chinese: 中華聖公會) was the Anglican-Episcopal Church in China. It was formally established as the Anglican-Episcopal Province of China in 1912. Soon after the Communists' take-over of mainland China in 1949, it ceased to exist, its dioceses in Hong Kong and Macao became an independent province (Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui), and its people who moved to Taiwan established the Taiwan Episcopal Church.
