For some years The Project was misled by inaccurate information, and in Keys to the Kingdom this organ is misreported as having been installed in a spurious and non-existent ‘Nestorian Church’. The Nestorian faith (the ‘Church of the East’) in fact died out in China in the 9th century A.D. The site of the Nestorian ‘Temple of the Cross’ at Fangshan, near Beijing, is the single surviving point of reference today for the ‘Resplendent Religion’ that created the famous Nestorian Stele of A.D. 781.
