Zhangzhou Christianity Gazetteer to be Published at Christmas

目前福建省《漳州基督教志》的征集工作正在进行，预计在今年圣诞节问世。

今年初，漳州市基督教两会就发出通知，为编写《漳州基督教志》，征集各县、区基督教堂堂史。要求各堂会依向民宗局堂点登记名称，落实堂会所在地，按照何人、何时，依时间顺序记录各堂会在发展过程的重要事件、人物（教牧人员）及其影响；教会对社会的贡献及开展荣神益人服务社会慈善活动、助教助学、扶贫济困的做法及影响，与史料有关的教堂新老照片等方面加以整理。

两会要求今年5月底前完成各县市堂史征集工作。

A new book about the history of Christianity in Zhangzhou, Fujian is expected to come out on Christmas.

At the beginning of this year, the Zhangzhou Municipal CC&TSPM issued a notice to compile the book  "Zhangzhou Christian Gazetteer" by collecting information about the history of churches in subordinate counties and districts.

Churches were required to register their names and locations in the ethnic & religious affairs bureau and to record the important events, pastors, and their influences in the development of each church in chronological order. In addition to sorting out old and new photos of churches, local churches also wrote down their contribution to society, such as carrying out charitable activities, poverty alleviation, teaching and learning assistance, etc.

The municipal CC&TSPM (Christian Council & Three-Self Patriotic Movement) required completion of the collection before the end of May this year.
