H.K. Christian Council, and it was proven to be quite helpful and
useful. Another similar project of longer duration is planned for
the Summer 1967.
The Industrial Committee, however, is not solely inter­
ested in Christian witness and service in the factory areas of
"industrial" society where a high degree of specialized knowledge,
s k ill, and competency is indeed needed. The Committee is concerned
primarily with the basic stance of the tota l Church to the whole
of an urban-industrial society lik e Hong Kong. The Committee firmly
believes that it is in this basic stance that the clue to Church
renewal is to be found.

Future;

In the coming two years the Committee hopes to move in the
following general areas;

- to encourage and develop the work that is already being
undertaken by the churches in the industrial areas.
- to encourage ministers in these new areas to work as teams.
- to build up small groups of knowledgeable and concerned
people to think through the Church's ministry in new and
changing situations.
- to encourage and train people for th is specialized min­
istry , or to take the basic stance of the Church amidst
a changing society into whatever loca l situation they
work in.

8. Youth Committee

The Youth Committee of the Council was formed in 1963. During
the past few years, we had been able to do the following;

1. Work out a constitution for this Committee .
2. Call meetings for youth leaders c f different churches to
discuss youth problems in Hong Kong and to make plans fo r
joint efforts in church youth work. . ,
3. Selection of 7 youth delegates to the 1st Asian Christian
Youth Assembly.
4. Organizing a United Prayer Service for a ll H.K. Church
youth.
5. Sponsoring a photo competition on the Hong Kong youth
to day.
6. Organizing a Youth Rally fo r a ll Hong Kong Church youth.
7. Acted as host for the EACC Youth Committee Meeting which
met in Hong Kong to make plans for the 1967 Singapore
Youth Consultation and Training Institute.

The Council appointed the Rev. Peter kwong as Hong Kong
delegate to participate in th is Youth Consultation and Training
Institute in Singapore (April 5 - 13 ).
Nevertheless, the Committee regrets that it has not done
a ll it should during the past year; yet at the same time, we
strongly fe e l that with the support of a fu ll time or even
part-time secretary for Youth work, a great deal more can be
done, especially in coordination the Youth work of different
churches in Hong Kong.
