A booklet  for the promotion of the  Fellowship of the Least
                   Coin has been printed which will be circulated, among the

                          s
                   women'  societies of the  local congregations.  November of
                   each year has been designated by the Committe to collect
                   funds to be forwarded to the Asian Church Women's Conference's

                   Least Coin Fund for supporting projects in various countries
                    in the world.  A church wide conference on the United Nations'
                   theme "Equality,  Development and Peace" was sponsored by the

                   Committee on April 12,  1975.  Over 120 church women attended
                   the Conference.  It  is hoped that the effort of this Committee
                                            s
                   will encourage women'  societies of each church to form a
                    Church Women United of Hong Kong to promote fellowship and
                    to participate in Mission and Service.


                    FELLOWSHIP WITH REGIONAL AND WORLD ECUMENICAL BODIES


                    During the year the Council has participated in a number of
                    regional and world conferences。  These included Familia  '74,

                    The Third South East Asia Christian Kindergarten Conference,
                    Indochina Forum,  Christian Conference of Asia General

                    Committee and Program Committees,  and the  International
                    Christian Youth Exchange Assembly,  just  to name a few.


                    Also, the Council staff has the pleasure of meeting many
                    friends and colleagues from churches around the world.

                    These included staff members of the World Council of Churches,

                    Secretaries of various denominational Mission Boards  in the
                    USA, personnel from the National Council of Churches of Christ
                    in the USA, the  Conference of the  British Missionary Societies,
                    the United Protestant Church in Germany (related with the

                    Hong Kong Rhenish Church) and a number of United Methodist

                    Church Bishops.

                    All these contacts provide opportunities for dialogue and
                    sharing ideas on common interests and concerns of the Church

                    in Hong Kong and the Church outside of Hong Kong.
