General Meeting of the Council and then circulated to the churches
and Christian organizations for study, comment and follow-up.

all the participants for making this Consultation possible. Their
presence and leadership contributed creatively to our discussions.
They also gave visible testimony to the interest of the churches
and the community in the life and work of the churches in Hong
Kong.
FELLOWSHIP IN THE CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Throughout the year, half hour chapel services are held each
