CHINA HISTORY AND FUTURE

In 1924, Shadyside built a hospital in the Shantung Province of China. The hospital was part of a larger mission compound that, since, has become a very historical site. This compound was used as an internment camp during World War II (Langdon Gilkey’s book, Shantung Compound, highlights his experience in this internment camp). This hospital is now a historical site, surrounded by Shadyside Park. Members of Shadyside visited this site and the surrounding churches, and are currently exploring partnership opportunities.
