* Translation of the Circle of Prayer From 2009 to 2010, Rita Wong (Singapore) and the Presbyterian Church Women in Taiwan had good suggestions of having the Circle of Prayer XIX translated into Mandarin so it could be shared with Mandarin-speaking people around the world. * Aid Taiwan members to produce a new design to promote the FLC Prayer Movement. Continuing, unfinished and future issues * For Mongolia: The ACWC received the FLC Grant for the seminar in Mongolia in July 2009. The ACWC, the ICFLC and the ACWC-Japan worked together for the mission and visitation. For details see the July-September/ October- December 2009 ACWC Newsletter. Frankly, Christianity and ecumenicity are new to Mongolia. They have passion but little experience. It may take considerable time to develop these concepts with our friends in Mongolia. * For Hong Kong: Although there are some ecumenical organizations in Hong Kong, the ecumenical sense especially for women’s issues has not been emphasized. Even the ACWC has worked hard in Hong Kong around three years, the membership in Hong Kong is not stable. One of the FLC pioneers was from Hong Kong, but it became history and there was little follow through. * East Timor: When I composed this report, East Timor reported to me that they will send two participants to the Assembly. For East Timor, the ACWC appreciates it that the CCA has involved us to be partners. Like Mongolia, East Timor has a long way to go to develop ecumenical relationships with outside church bodies. It is our privilege to work together with East Timor. The 30th ICFLC Annual Meeting should be the last meeting for me to be with you. I am surprised that 8 years have passed so fast. I will finish my two terms very soon by the end of 2010. I don’t care if people will remember me or not or how in which way my name is recorded. I only trust that the right persons for the ACWC’s future will be found. We are glad that the incoming ACWC Ex. Sec., (2011-2014) Revd. Moon-Sook Lee is here. The ICFLC Committee accepts her as the observer of this meeting. From my working experience, in the future I can tell that she will receive the strong support from the ICFLC as I have received from you. Thank you. God Bless the ICFLC! Shu-Wen Chiang, Executive Secretary of ACWC until 2010 18
CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE OF ASIA Greetings from Christian Conference of Asia in the name of our liberator who was conceived in the womb of a simple Asian village woman, Mary. I take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to ICFLC for the block grant. I also want to share that CCA as a regional ecumenical organization plays crucial role in promoting the FLC movement in most of the women’s leadership development and gender justice program, project and activities which we do in partnership with our member churches and 17 councils in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. We have also started promoting FLC movement among youth (female as well as male youth) in our youth programs and activities. In 2010 the block grant was used for the CCA WOMEN’S FORUM / PRE ASSEMBLY which was held in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur from April 10th -13th. The theme of this Forum was ‘CELEBRATING LIFE: WOMEN, PROPHETS, HEALERS AND RECONCILERS’. More than 70 women Church leaders from 17 countries in Asia including Australia and New Zealand attended this Forum. We also have few men leaders who are in solidarity and who encourage women’s ecumenical movement. Objectives of CCA WOMEN’S FORUM: Celebrating and recognizing the contributions of Asian women’s involvement in prophetic ministry, peace building healing and reconciliation. Strategizing to evolve joint action plans among member churches in Asia in women’s leadership development , promoting gender justice and involvement of women in decision making in Church and society Promoting Asian Women’s spirituality of justpeace which is reflecting in faith in action. Strategizing to promote men and women partnerships in overcoming violence against women, children and mother earth. Evolving a statement which will give direction to CCA to evolve its vision , mission and activities for the next five years 19
