520 |a This chapter examines short-term missions’ (stms) impact upon its participants’ sense of social solidarity by interrogating the intersections of their religious (i.e. evangelical), ethnic (i.e. “Chinese”), and national (i.e. “Canadian”) identities. stms are trips that entail an individual travelling to engage in a type of voluntary social service, often in tandem with proselytization. My multi-sited ethnography follows four stm teams deployed to China and Taiwan by Chinese Canadian evangelical churches in 2015. I accomplish this by applying interaction ritual chains theory. My findings reveal that youths negotiate complex meanings in their transnational experiences and contradictions which I call “ironies” emerge. I propose the theoretical modification of “entangled chains” to interaction ritual chains and discuss its implications for understanding social solidarity.
