《十架身影: 基督教與香港社會》展覽
基督新教的傳教士在香港開埠之初已經抵達香港，計劃以這個小漁村作為對中國傳教的跳板，他們大部分會利用在香港的時間學習中文和準備在中國生活，但同時亦有一些在香港傳道、辦學及開展一些社會服務，如興建孤兒院。百多年後，基督教已經成為香港最大的宗教之一，教會機構也提供多元化的醫療、教育、社會服務等。
圖書館的「基督教在華發展史文獻」記錄了這段歷史和現況，這次的展覧也以特藏内的書籍資料為主。
“Under the Cross: Christianity and Hong Kong society” Exhibition
Missionaries from Protestant missions in the West reached Hong Kong at the very early days of its modern history, planning to use this tiny fishing village as a base to spread the gospel in China. At the same time though, some started evangelistic work here, and built schools and institutions like orphanages. After over a century, Christianity is now the largest religion in Hong Kong, and church organizations provide a wide variety of medical, educational and social services.
The special collection of “Archives on the History of Christianity in China” documents this piece of history and
its development today. This exhibition draws heavily on this special collection.
