PEKING RD.4th FL..NG KONG CHRISTIAN,INDUSTRIAL COMMITTEEKOWLOON,HONGKONG香港基督教工業委員會E51980No。46January 1980  \nVote of Thanks  \nWith the turn of the decade Raymond Fung has resigned the direotorship ofthe Christian Industrial Committee。During the past eleven years the workhas grown and matured under his leadership。He has enabled the ChristianIndustrial Committee to become what it is today.  \nThose who have had the privilege of working with him have come to respecthim for his many gifts:an innovative mind,constantly surprising thosearound him with new ideas and projects;a sharp sense for the one spot wherethe cutting edge of the Christian Industrial Committee could make thegreatest impact into the fabric of society;a strong urge to spreadunderstanding of the gospel among workers and the ability to raise issuesof faith。In the process Raymond Fung has become a theologian in his ownright.  \nThe Committee members and the staff are deeply grateful for all thatRaymond Fung has contributed.We are happy that we will be able tomaintain a elose relationship with him in his new function as ExecutiveSecretary to the Division of Mission of the Hong Kong Christian Council.We are looking forward to his continuing cooperation and support。  \nT  \nA  \nM  \n2  \nW  \nRev。Kwok Nai Wang,General Secretary,Hong Kong Christian Council.  \nI am very happy that Mr。LAU CHTN SHEK has been appointed as the thirdDirector of the Christian Industrial Committee(the first being MissMargaret Kane,who served for 2 years;the second,Mr.Raymond Fung,1l years)。  \nThe 1979!s was a decade of upheavals,a decade of grassroot revolutionsand commnon people challenging the establishment.  \nAs we move into the 80's,we think of this same group of peopletbuilding up'.Having been a labourer himself,I am sure Mr。Laufully understands their aspirations and will be able to provide goodleadership.  \nDr。L、K。Ding,Chairman,Christian Industrial Committee.  \nI am very happy about the choice of Lau Chin Shek as Director.To mehe is not only a person who has shown his ability in the labourmovement.He has the added qualification of having been a worker.This will ensure the grassruot -orientation of the Committee'swork。  \nThe Christian ndustrial.Conmittee is not bound by conventions.Itcan pick the best.person irrespective of academic qualifcations.The choice is another indication of Raymond Fung,the outgoingdirectors achievements。  \nRev。Li Ping Kwong,Minister-in-charge,Hong Kong Chinese MethodistChurch。  \nMr。Lau Chin Shek is a member of my congregation.He is verysensitivey.very aware of social injustice and has the courage tospeak out.  \nAs he is a Christian concerned about the church and society,it ismy hope that he wiJ.1be able to pursue this concern as the directorof the Christian Industrial Committee and contribute to evangelismamong workGTs in Hong Kong。  \nI would like you to know that beginning January 1,1980,I shall officiallycease to be director of the Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee(CIC),and shall assume responsibility as Executive Secretary for Mission,HongKong Christian Council。Mr。Lau Chin-sek,a colleague of many years,becomes the directsr of the CIC。This represents quite a change for me.But not really;I still.have the same address,the same office,and Ibelieveprthensameurcommitments  \nWhy the change?There have been several interlocking fastors at work.  \nPersonally,I have for sometime arrived at a sense of olarity as to whatI can contribute most to the cause of Christian witness among_the poor.I know it is in the area of articulating and formulating the ChristianGoSpel so that it speaks to the poor in their struggles,and nurtures themin their faith。I want to give myself more time to this work,a lot morethan I could as director of CIC。  \nAs for CIC;I believe we have come to accept that after a full eleven yearswith the Conmittee,it is only \"a matter of time that I would leave thepost,for my own good as well as for that of CIC.So when a situationarises in which I can focus on my ","cbCaijv7di6YWbL0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijv7di6YWbL0","pdf",2162523,"English","# Vote of Thanks\n##
