A nother vital, b u t often unnoticed service to the total
Christian com m u nity is the broadcast liaison and recording
services carried on at the A V E C recording centre. This
serves both the Roman Catholics as w ell as the Protestant
fellowships. Day in and day o u t through o u t the year, the
W ord o f God through Christian witness is prepared, sent to
the broadcasting station and spoken to the w hole co m m u n ity
o f Hong Kong — in both Chinese and English over Radio
Television Hong Kong. Hundreds and thousands in Hong
Kong - as w ell as in the neighboring province - hear the
W ord o f God regularly because o f the steady, dedicated
stewardship o f the Christian Council's com m unications
departm ent.
The department conducted 6 training courses during
the year. These offered training in film projection and Super
8 film production. A w orkshop on Shadow Play production
was offered during the visit of the Korean Drama G roup
in May.

Hop Yat Church Hong Kong utilized the department’s
recording and production services to produce cassettes cele-
brating the church*s 50th anniversary. The recordings in -
cluded a choral service, a Thanksgiving Service and three
devotional services.

The department also participates in ecumenical pro-
jects on behalf of the Christian Councial. Two staff members
have been named by the Christian C ouncil, at the invitatio n
of the Roman C atholic Diocese o f Hong Kong, to serve on
tw o com m unications com m ittees. This continues the long
tra d itio n o f ecumenical w o rk in com m unications w hich we
have enjoyed in Hong Kong.
