<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Christian socialists draw parallels between what some have characterized as the egalitarian and anti-establishment message of Jesus, whoâaccording to the Gospelâspoke against the religious authorities of his time, and the egalitarian, anti-establishment, and sometimes anti-clerical message of most contemporary socialisms. <b>Some Christian Socialists have gone as far as to become active Communists. This phenomenon was most common among missionaries in China, the most notable being James Gareth Endicott, who became supportive of the struggle of the Communist Party of China in the 1930s and 1940s.</b>
