LEO VAN DIJCK CICM

 

 

Fr. Leo van Dijck (1878-1951), who had been a professor at Lanzhou (Lanchou) University, also moved to Ningxia with Schram. Van Dijck had begun adapting Christian art to Chinese symbolism and art and painted catechetical charts with Chinese figures and scenes chosen from Chinese daily life to help the catechumens better grasp the faith content and moral prescriptions

 

..... explained in the classes. Schram fully supported van Dijck in this, penning a study about the meaning of this missionary effort, which was published in Bulletin Catholique de Pekin . Schram took the paintings of van Dijck with him in order to publish them in 1927 when the CICM General Superior J. Rutten called him back to Belgium. During his stay, he presented a well-documented report on this at the VIst Missiological Week in Leuven . He also gave many lectures in Belgium illustrating van Dijck’s work with slides.
