Anastasiia Akulich: Practicing Orthodoxy: Community Celebrations and Chinese Religious Professionals in the Ag
Thesis: Practicing Orthodoxy: Community Celebrations and Chinese Religious Professionals in the Age of Russian Orthodox Expansion in China (1900-1917)
Supervisors:
Almost half of the small Chinese Orthodox Christian community were killed by the Boxer Movement in June 1900. In the aftermath of the Uprising, Russian diplomats and even certain church officials advocated for the Orthodox mission's closure. Yet, not only was the mission not closed, it grew significantly more active and productive in the coming years. This thesis examines the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in China during its most fruitful period between 1900 and 1917, when the number of Orthodox Christian converts grew more than tenfold. It builds on scholarship on the Russian mission by shifting the focus from the mission as an institution, religious or diplomatic, to the hitherto largely ignored religious community that formed around it. By doing so, this thesis seeks to reintegrate Russian missionary activity and Orthodox Chinese into the broader history of Christianity in China. In order to do so, it focuses not on the activities of the Russian missionaries but on the religious celebrations in which most of the active Orthodox Christians participated. It examines three important festivals: Chinese Lunar New Year, Easter, and the Day of All Saint Martyrs, commemorating the Chinese Orthodox casualties of the Boxer Uprising. In studying these religious festivities, this thesis explores how entertainment, fasting, feasting, and religious processions were used to translate elements of the Orthodox religious message to a Chinese context.
A key theme of this thesis is the role played by the Chinese Orthodox religious professionals in this translation process. Chinese monastics, ordained priests and lay preachers stood in between the Russian missionaries, who often lacked

Having a picture book biography published had been a goal of mine for years. I kept a running list of people whose lives would inspire kids. My computer held manuscripts in different stages of development. But another writing project always seemed to come first. Then, in the spring of 2017, my agent let me know that Cheryl Klein, editorial director of Lee & Low Books, was interested in seeing a nonfiction story about an architect who created the National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC). Here was my chance: Philip G. Freelon, the lead architect, lived nearby in Durham. I was excited about the possibility of celebrating his journey and incredible work of which the pinnacle was NMAAHC, a dream a century in the making.
Calling North Carolina home for more than a decade, I knew Mr. Freelon’s name and some of the beautiful museums and public spaces he designed, but I didn’t know his path to his calling. I began by reading articles about life and achievements. Immediately, I was intrigued and inspired. He grew up in Philadelphia, part of a strong family that sparked and nurtured his love of art. His mom was a teacher. His grandfather was not only a Harlem Renaissance painter, but an educator and thinker. His father, a businessman, attended the March on Washington. This was a story of a Black man’s beginnings that isn’t centered enough.
I reached out to ask if I could interview him. Mr. Freelon kindly agreed. I crafted a list of questions that included exploring the sights and sounds of his youth, his struggles and motivations, journey to architecture and how the Civil Rights Movement helped shape his mission. He and his wife, Grammy-nominated composer and singer Nnenna Freelon, welcomed me to their home. They painted a picture that pulled me into his world: Early struggle with reading. Finding strength in art, math and science. Showing genius at building and rotating images in his mind. Feeling proud of being Black and .
