Wang MingdaoWang Mingdao (1900-1991), a Chinese Christian evangelist, has been popularly referred to as the "Dean of the House Churches" in China. He was the founder (1925) of the Christian Tabernacle in Peking, which was one of the largest evangelical churches in China at that time. He served as the church's pastor until his arrest in 1955 for refusing to join the Three-Self Patriotic Movement. In August of that year, Wang, along with his wife and eighteen church members, were imprisoned, and the church was shut down. Shortly thereafter, Wang Mingdao signed a confession statement and was released from prison. However, he soon after recanted and spent 22 years in a prison labour camp. Upon his release, he became involved in the house church movement in Beijing until his death in 1991. Mingdao, Wang Mingdao, Wang
