Survival of Nestorian Christianity in Central Asia

Timeline

1. 1291–1295Samarkand · SamarkandIn commercial cities such as Samarkand, Nestorians still participated in handicrafts and trade; church organization continued the tradition of spread in Central Asia since the Tang, though the number of believers had clearly contracted since the early Mongol Empire.
2. 1296–1300Kashgar · KashgarIn oasis cities along the southern Tianshan route, Nestorianism coexisted with Islam, Tibetan Buddhism, and local beliefs; the khan's court generally did not force conversion, and Nestorianism as a minority religion still retained space for worship and preaching at the end of the century.
