Idealized 1860 European engraving of missionaries in China - the Jesuit in the center is the only person wearing something modeled after Chinese local scholar's regalia. The Dominican friar is featured in the background studying - stereotypes abound.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Theodore (Ted) Nicholas Foss (1950-2026), a great Sinologist and cofounder with Fr. Edward Malatesta, SJ, (1932-1998) of the Ricci Institute, now housed at Boston College. Dr. Foss served as a director of the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Chicago, where he earned his Ph.D. Earlier in his distinguished career, he held administrative and historical positions at The University of Chicago, Stanford University, and the University of San Francisco.

Rich discussions ensued at Cambridge on the topic of Chinese ecclesiology - conference hosted by the Cambridge Centre for Chinese Theology. Professor Clark's remarks, “A Diasporic Liturgy: The Globalization of China’s Catholic Identity," at Selwyn College, were well received. It was a convivial assembly of global scholars interested in the complexities of Christianity in China. [September 2026]

A lovely image of Bishop Celso Costantini (far left at the table) and other missionaries in China (ca. 1924) - Western ecclesial wear was certainly the fashion of the Catholic leadership in China during the Republican Era (1912-1949). [Anthony E. Clark Collection]
