The seventh public seminar on Christianity and Social Concerns was held virtually from February 22 to 24.
During the lecture held on the 22nd, a professor surnamed Liu analyzed the internal and external challenges Chinese churches faced, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the influence and social recognition the churches lacked.
During the next day’s morning lecture, a pastor whose last name is Li shared how his team helped the elderly enjoy their remaining years. Through their activities, the elderly in the community got tangible help and improvement in their lives. The pastor said Christians should use practical actions to help those in need.
In the second lecture, Sister Li stated how she used the psychology she had learned to serve those in trouble after following the Lord. Jesus Christ never turned his back on those in need, but always cared for those who needed compassion, love and tolerance. So we should act like Jesus to help those in need.
On the third day, a Christian psychologist emphasized the necessity of professionalism in social care that Christians should show more professionalism and a sense of accomplishment in helping others on basis of Christian faith.

2021年2月22-24日，第七期“基督教与社会关怀”讲座在网络上举行。
22日的讲座上，主讲人刘教授为大家分析了中国教会现在面临的“内忧外患”的挑战，例如“疫情”的影响、“教会缺乏影响力”、“教会缺乏社会认同”等等。讲座结束，有很多弟兄姐妹提出自己的疑问并得到解答。
23日的讲座，主讲人李牧师分享了自己的团队是如何帮助老年人享受晚年生活的，通过这些活动，让社区的老人得到实实在在的帮助，让他们的生活得到确实的改变。基督徒应该用实际行动帮助那些有需要的人群。
下一场讲座中，主讲人李姊妹分享了自己是如何被主呼召，自己的生命是如何得到成长，并开始用自己所学的心理学去服事那帮助的人。耶稣基督永远不会放下那些需要帮助的人，也永远愿意用他的爱去关怀、关注那些需要怜悯和爱包容的人。我们也要像耶稣基督一样，帮助那些有需要的人群。
24日，刘老师在讲座上分享了社会关怀的专业性。基督徒应该有更加专业的资质和素养，以信仰为根基来认真地做事情，帮助他人，也用上帝叫我们活出来的爱心，温暖他人。
