Body. Practically, in order to realize Paul's teaching, it
         is my wish to  see that whenever there are  some
         Churches who are successful or being honored, all
         Churches rejoice and give thanks to God.  Whenever
         there are Churches suffering or being criticized, all
         Churches care and pray for them. In fact, only some

         Christians realize the diversity of denominations in
         Christianity.  For millions of non-Christians in Hong
         Kong, what they know about Christians is that they
        believe in Jesus Christ and do whatever Jesus taught.
        If that is the reality,  Church unity is visible and
        achievable.
              The Ecumenical  Movement is  not  some­
        thing  outside  of the  domestic  affairs  of  the
        Churches. Christians are members of the house­
        hold of God. We belong to one family, we work

        for the same family and serve the same Lord. God
        has located us in different communities of Hong
        Kong. I hope whatever we provide in evangelism,
        service, nurture and care, we work in a spirit of
        unity because we are called by God for One Mis­
        sion which is for the fullness of life for all. ( John
        10:10b)
