K. H. Ting

Who was K. H. Ting?

K. H. Ting or Ding Guangxun, was Chairperson emeritus of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement and President emeritus of the China Christian Council, the government-approved Protestant church in China. He was an Anglican Bishop in the 1940s and 1950s. As he had not renounced his ordination, he was technically a bishop until his death, although the Anglican Church no longer exists as an institution in China. Along with all recognized denominations, it was merged into the Three-Self Patriotic Movement in the 1950s.

Ting had also held a number of political posts. He was a vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and a member of the National People's Congress, China's legislature.
