Thank you for participating in Wikipedia. I wanted to explain that I had to undo your recent edit to Christianity in China for two reasons: Also, another concern that is likely to come up with this kind of topic is that of point of view. While there are plenty of traditions surrounding the Apostle Thomas, it is not universally accepted that he founded the church in China. Of course, it's nowhere near universally accepted that he didn't, either :) - so in accordance with WP:NPOV, we have to be careful not to give undue weight to one view over the other. In short, we are free to report what other people say about the Apostle Thomas as long as we don't put Wikipedia in the position of endorsing or opposing them. Hope that makes sense, and I hope you will continue your efforts to improve Wikipedia.  Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.  Thanks for your understanding,

 * You may be interested in our article on Thomas the Apostle. There's a lot of info/references on India, and a bit about China - you may be able to find some reliable sources based on the bibliography in use there... that is, if you're interested in contributing :)
