Anthony Liu Bainian, vice chairman of the Chinese Patriotic Association (CCPA), an organization not recognized by the Vatican, recently put forward a proposal to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) to “provide English-language bibles in hotels.” Liu, a CPPCC member, made the proposal during the annual meeting here of the conference, the top advisory body of China’s central government.
