Christian Welfare & Relief Council with the Hong Kong Christian Council
moved its office to the Morrison Memorial Centre so that it will be
possible to effect easier co-ordination with the related organizations.
Prospects for further integration in the new Christian Centre Building
in 1966 looks right.

Hong Kong Doctor s ' Christian Association

We have had quite a good and active year. By the end of next month
we would have a total of 4 meetings , one of which was a retreat for our
members and their families. Two meetings were of special significance.
In the early part of last year we had Dr. R. Knight on, the Executive
Secretary of the Christian Medical Society of the US share with us his
experience working with Christian doctors, dentists and medical students.
As an outcome of this meeting our association planned a joint meeting
of our members and Christian medical students of the Hong Kong University
Medical faculty. This meeting was very well attended when more than 60
graduate doctors and medical students got together one evening at the
Nethersole Hospital. It is our hope that closer contact will be
maintained with those medical students who will be the future graduate
doctors.

Our association published one bulletin last year: "Christian
Medicine".

A new slate of officers will be elected during the last meeting
to be held on the 24th of March this year.

Education Committee of the Council in conducting a series of Sunday
School teacher training sessions.... In October AVEC was host to both

on SEARV, succeeding Dr. Peter Wong.... Late in November the director
attended the working committee meeting of the EACC Broadcasting and
Visual Aids Committee (BAVACO) in Jabalpir, M.P., India. During 1965
BAVACO had sponsored non-projected aids workshops in Pakistan, India
and Ceylon. It proposes to sponsor similar workshops in East Asia
following the enlarged BAVACO meeting scheduled for Seoul in September
of 1966.
