Here are a few excerpts pertinent ...

For a variety of reasons, including the anti-Western movement of the 1920s, many Chinese Christian leaders were seeking ways to form indigenous churches that would be free from Western missionary control. Having moved to the International Settlement in Shanghai in 1926, Ni constituted in 1932 a group of “apostolic” co-workers that would lead what became the Little Flock Movement: Wang Peizhen (Peace Wang) and Li Yuanru (Ruth Lee), with Ni himself as supreme..

Why was this movement essentially co-founded by women, and 85 years later no woman can give a message to the gathering on Sunday morning? I've never heard the official house organ try to explain this disparity. One thing or the other can't be 'biblical'. Yet they try to have both.

Is Zhang Pinhui the same as Charity Chang? No wonder I can't ever get these stories straight.
