Recently, the Huangpu District Christian Council of Shanghai visited the local government who has been doing for a long time with regards to the removal of an illegally inhabited building situated next to a church.
According to the Shanghai CC&TSPM, the building in question is adjacent to the Pure Heart Christian Church in Huangpu district and has been empty since 2013. Legal changes regarding the ownership of the building as well as business information changes caused the building to be unmanaged for a long time. As a result of this, the building glass shattered and people began to enter unlawfully at will, which not only compromised the security of the residents of the district but also presented the church with a new threat to their safety. Consequently, the demolition work was officially launched on July 16.
On August 11, 2021, Rev. Jiang Xili, director of the Huangpu District CC, visited several units and departments including the Standing Committee of the District People's Congress, the District Urban Management Administration, and Law Enforcement Bureau, the District Leading Group Office for the Remediation of Illegal Buildings, and the Old Ximen Street. She sent some presents to the staff to show her appreciation for their hard work in the summer days for the demolition of illegal structures.

近期，黄浦区基督教两会走访区政府多个部门，向他们长期以来为拆除区内基督教清心堂旁的违章建筑所做的各项工作表达诚挚的感谢。
据上海基督教两会报道，该违章建筑毗邻区内基督教清心堂，自2013年空关至今。由于法人及工商信息变更的问题，造成该建筑长期无人管理，建筑玻璃爆破、人员随意进出，不仅给小区居民带来很大隐患，教堂也因此在安全和环境等方面受到较大挑战。所以，在7月16日正式启动了拆违工作。
2021年8月11日，黄浦区基督教两会主任姜茜莉牧师代表黄浦区基督教，走访区人大常委会、区城市管理行政执法局、区违法建筑整治领导小组办公室、以及老西门街道等在内的多个单位部门。向工作人员送去夏日慰问品，再次对大家在炎炎夏日中为拆违工作付出的辛劳表示敬意。
