CONCLUSION







                   We  are  pleased  w ith   w hat  we  have  achieved  as  a
              fellow sh ip  o f  Christians  in  Hong  Kong.  In  spite o f d ifficu ltie s,
              we  have  been  able  to  continue  our  forw a rd  m ovem ent  in  the
              co m m u n ity.

                   B ut  we  cannot  be  satisfied.  There  is  more  to   do.  We
              in  Hong  Kong  m ust  continue  to   take  part  in  the  w o rk  of
              all  Asian  Churches.  We  m ust  n o t  allow   ourselves  to  become
              isolated  in  o u tlo o k  or  spirit.  The  fu n d   raising  w hich  we
              have  done  is  on ly  a  beginning!  We  m ust  do  more.  We  must
              w o rk  to   understand  the  rapid  changing  Asian  situation,  to
              see  our  place  in  it  and  become  involved.  There  is an  increasing
              need  fo r  evidence  o f  u n ity   among  the  churches  in  Asia.
              Hong  Kong  m ust  n o t  fa il  to   play  its  part  in  dem onstrating
              this  u n ity   in  Christ.
                   The  Christians  in  Hong  Kong  have  a  privileged  position
              in  Asia.  We  have  the  oppo rtu nitie s  to   speak,  to   be  involved
              in  change,  and  to   express  and  dem onstrate  com m u nity
              concerns.  Let  us  visit  and  kno w   more  o f  ou r  neighboring
              brothers  and  sisters  in  Christ,  let  us  pray  fo r  them   more
              ofte n ,  let  us  invite  guests  to   come  and  share  th e ir  Christian
              m otivated  insights  and  witness  w ith   us,  let  us  fin d   new  and
              im aginative  ways  o f  giving  ourselves  and  our  resources  to
              the  Christian  and  non-C hristian  co m m u n ity  o f  Asia.  Let  us
              fin d   Jesus  C hrist  in  the  co n te xt  o f  Asian  suffering  and  hope.
