and the Cheung-Lo Church (both adjacent to the Centre) were dedicated. The CCC has new churches at Yuen Long and Mui Wo (Silver Mine Bay) and new schools at Castle Peak, Cheung Chau and in the historic one hundredth seven-storey block of Wong Tai Sin resettlement estate. The Lutherans, who work chiefly amongst Mandarin-speaking Chinese, have dedicated a new church in Castle Peak and acquired a larger building for their Fanling church: their educational work also continues to expand, and site-formation has started for the Union Lutheran Church and School in Waterloo Road. But it is impossible to record all the developments in every denomination in detail.
Co-operation among the Protestant Churches continued during the year in the Chinese Churches' Union and in the Hong Kong Christian Council. The latter body keeps in touch with the World Council of Churches through the East Asia Christian Conference; in the autumn it also sponsored a Conference on Sunday School Materials (in the Chinese Language) with Chinese delegates from half a dozen countries. The Annual Day of Prayer for Church Unity is becoming an important occasion, and further co-operation is shown in Chung Chi College, where the new President, Dr C. T. Yung, and vice-President, Dr L. G. Kilborn, were installed, and in the Study Centre on Chinese Religion, the Council on Christian Literature for Overseas Chinese, the Audio-Visual Evangelism Committee, and the Student Christian Centre.
The Protestant Churches in Hong Kong are recognized for their work in welfare and rehabilitation where there is a growing spirit of mutual co-operation, both' in the raising of funds on an inter- denominational basis overseas and in developing pilot projects of work in union here where the need is so great. The Christian Welfare and Relief Council, with a membership of twenty four leading churches and Christian agencies working in the Colony, has sponsored world-wide appeals for funds through the World Council of Churches, and well over $3,000,000 have been received and disbursed during 1960; while the Council itself developed three rehabilitation projects on the Churches' behalf, which touch urgent needs among the refugees in the Colony. One is for resettle- ment of Swatow-speaking refugee farmers on small-holdings on the island of Chek Lap Kok, to the north of Lantau island. Another is for the rehabilitation of cured drug addicts by settlement
