Religions extend wishes to Mass Mobilisation Commission
Dignitaries of the Evangelical Church of Vietnam (North) on January 24
bid New Year greetings to the Party Central Committee’s Commission for
Mass Mobilisation.
Wishing the commission a happy and warm
Tet holiday, Pastor Nguyen Huu Mac, head of the Evangelical Church of
Vietnam (North), briefed the Deputy Head of the Commission Nguyen Manh
Hung on its activities over the past year, especially its 34th General
Assembly and the opening of a university for Church dignitaries and
assistants.
He used the occasion to thank the Party, State
and the commission for their support helping the Church stabilise its
operations and bring happiness to the country’s Protestant community.
Pastor Mac voiced his hope that the commission will pay more
attention to religions by creating conditions for groups of Protestants
to practice their beliefs regularly.
For his part, the Deputy
Head of the Commision Nguyen Manh Hung, spoke highly of the Church’s
activities in 2013, conveying his wish that Protestant dignitaries and
followers will continue supporting the nation on its development path.
He also noted his hope that the Evangelical Church of Vietnam
(North) will soon merge with the Evangelical Church of Vietnam (South),
creating a common house for Protestants nationwide.
The
same day, the commission received a delegation of the Cao Dai Tay Ninh
religion led by Thuong Phong Thanh, who said the Church has guided its
followers to abide by guidelines and policies of the Party and State
while participating in movements launched by the Vietnam Fatherland
Front.
Hailing the Church’s outstanding performance, Hung
called on it to continue encouraging its followers to lead good secular
and religious lives.-VNA
