Here is a heading that I found for one of that talks that he gave:
Thur, Jan 15th, 2015, 12:00pm-1:20pm (Pick Hall Lounge):
“The Vine… So Long That It Encircles the Globe: The Significance of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee in Global Christianity” – Paul Chang
The Christian ministers Watchman Nee and Witness Lee are two of the most creative and influential Chinese religious leaders of the 20th century. Their ideas gave rise to a number of movements that now account for millions, with indigenous leaders on all six continents. I will contextualize their thought by placing it in conversation with the larger traditions of Christian and Chinese thought. I will also offer my working definition of Global Christianity to show how Nee and Lee’s ideas contribute to our understanding of Global Christian phenomena.
It also appears he was from Chicago, but has since moved to Riverside, CA.
