This essay discusses Shantung Compound, theologian Langdon Gilkey's autobiographical account of “men and women under pressure” in an internment camp in occupied China during World War II, as a narrative of the formation and life of an unintentional Christian community. Many of the thousands of foreigners interned with Gilkey were missionaries and the book is organized around their efforts to grapple with fundamental questions of social ethics. The essay focuses on the competing utopian visions of three stakeholders in the community: the Catholic monastic missionaries; the Protestant ordained and lay missionaries; and Gilkey himself, a liberal Christian who had struggled to “live creatively in the real world” since the rise of fascism and was uncertain as to whether organized religion had anything to offer to this struggle. He concluded that the moral health of the fragile camp community, whether it was addressed in religious or secular terms, was integral to the physical survival of its members. |
