Annual reports, 1982-1988

This series basically documents the work and achievements of the Hong Kong Christian Council (HKCC). HKCC is an ecumenical body of Christian churches, organizations and institutions in Hong Kong. Rev. Kwok was the General Secretary of HKCC from 1977 to 1988 and he has collected many HKCC publications and documents. HKCC's works and activities are well documented in HKCC Annual Reports (folders 3-5 to 4-1), the General Secretary's Reports and open letters (folder 5-2) as well as the General Secretary's reports to the Executive Committee (folder 5-3). HKCC's Chinese and English journals entitled Message, News and Views are contained in folders 5-4 to 6-2 and 6-6 to 7-3. Some of the articles written by Rev. Kwok are also contained in these publications. Folders 7-4 to 7-8 document some vital issues related to HKCC and the churches in Hong Kong. In his capacity of being the General Secretary of HKCC, Rev. Kwok played a leading role in organizing two important events called “Church Consultation – the Mission of the Church in Hong Kong in the 1980's” and “The Mission of the Church in Hong Kong – Mid-decade Consultation”. Materials such as correspondence, posters, clippings and programs related to the consultations are included in folders 4-2 to 5-1 and 6-3 to 6-5. These materials document the participants’ discussion on the role of the Church in democratic development, and the Christiancommunity's reaction and preparation in response to the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong.
