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.
