II. FELLOWSHIP IN THE CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Throughout the year, half hour chapel services are held each
Wednesday morning from 9 :30 to 10:00 for all 64 staff working in
the Hong Kong Christian Centre. Often times we invited overseas
visitors and local ministers to share their spiritual experience
with us. We also encouraged many of our fellow workers to take
charge of these devotions and we are grateful for their contri-
butions. During the year the Christian Centre Workers' Fellowship
organized several retreats to enrich the spiritual and recreational
life of the workers.

III. APPOINTMENT OF COUNCIL STAFF

The steady development of the work and the restructure of
the Council has led to the decision of appointing additional
executive staff to meet the increasing need. During the year,
the following staff were appointed:

Mr. Calvin Ngai, General Secretary (also in charge of the
Division for Specialized Ministries).

Rev. Robert L. Turnipseed, Executive Secretary, in charge of the
Division for Inter-Church Relations.

Rev. Thomas W. Lung, (Director AVEC) Executive Secretary, in
charge of the Division for Education and Communication.

Rev. Paul R. Webb, (Director HKCS) Executive Secretary, in charge
of the Division for Social Service.

Rev. William Tung, Assistant Director HKCS.

Mr. Richard B. Blakney, Planning Officer, United Christian
Hospital Committee.

Mr. Raymond Fung, Director, Hong Kong Christian Industrial
Committee.

Miss Rita Luk, part time Hon. Secretary, Women's Work.

There is evidence that with the competent service and
cooperative spirit of this working team, the programme of the
Council has been strengthened.

IV. REGULAR STAFF MEETINGS

Starting 1968, the Executive Staff of the Council and its
related organizations held regular weekly meetings to discuss
together questions and problems which are relevant to our common
task. It is essential that we work together for the improvement
of better understanding and joint involvement in both church and
society. The staff are also giving serious consideration on the
proposal for the economic use of the resources by streamlining
our daily administrative services for the Council and related
organizations. It is suggested that a Central Administrative Unit
would provide the following:

1. Accounting for all HKCC related organizations
2. General filing
3. Mailings.
4. Mineographing
5 . Copying
6. Typing pool and Chinese typewriter
7. Messenger service
8. Co-ordination in use of car
9. Central library
10. Central purchase of stationery and supplies
11. Printing and publishing
12. Translation services
