<p> DEATH REVEALED. Wang Mingdao, 91, leading pastor of China's
estimated 30 million house-church Protestants whose preaching
and resistance to the Beijing regime earned him the honorific
"China's John the Baptist"; on July 28; in Shanghai. Wang
pioneered a church that was independent of both Western and
Chinese communist control. After he was released from 23 years
of imprisonment in 1980, his Shanghai apartment became a
pilgrimage center for Chinese Christians eager for an old-
fashioned Gospel message.
