Christian Family Life Committee

The families in Hong Kong are facing a rapidly changing situation.
In this situation, Christians have a responsibility to help evaluate
the changes, to analize the problems and to suggest how there may be
a creative force in fulfilling God's plan for families in our City,

problems in Hong Kong.

services are held in many of the churches, and is followed by Family
Week when various family groups meet and have, talks, films discussion
on the various aspects, needs,problems of family life in Hong Kong.

sent to 120 representatives representing 15 denominations.

stimulate discussion in the sessions which followed.
