Christians pray during a mass at a church in Xining, Qinghai Province, northwest China, on July 3, 2005. China officially sanctions five religious groups: Protestant and Catholic Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Taoism. Chinese are allowed to worship only in state-sanctioned churches and temples.

The second annual Week of Global Prayer for China will begin on May 22. In 2021, a group of lay Christians from around the world responded to Cardinal Charles Bo’s call for prayer for the Christians and the church of China. This year, Christians have continued the call and are mobilizing to pray for China.
