Tim Yung
Editor

Born and raised in Hong Kong and having spent my formative years in the UK while observing many other cultures, I have always enjoyed learning something new about another person or place. Without exception, their historical background comes into play. Consequently, my historical journeying has taken me from the English Reformation to contemporary Chinese Christianity, from medieval concepts of imperium to the twentieth century global order, from Marxist socioeconomic relationships to the postmodernist blur. This being said, my current research isn't as broad, focusing on Chinese Anglican identity in the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui (Chinese Anglican Church) from 1849 to 1951.
