Michael Cassidy, Bishop Hwa Yung, Eugene Yapp Spoke on the General Conference Laity Conference 2012

The Christian and Nation Building
The General Conference Laity Conference organized the Methodist Laity Conference on the 20th and 21st of July 2012. The theme of the conference was “The Christian & Nation Building”. It was attended by about 180 Methodist from all the conferences in Malaysia. We had the privilege of having Bishop Hwa Yung, Dr. Michael Cassidy and Eugene Yapp from NECF as plenary speakers at the conference.

Bishop Hwa Yung as quoted from the program booklet states that “Just as ‘Man does not live by bread alone’, a nation like ours cannot be built by political process alone! The process of building a nation which is strong, economically vibrant, just and free, righteous and not rife with dishonesty and corruption and in which all are equal irrespective of race, religion or creed is a long and difficult road.” This conference was organized to address some of these issues and help the participants to know how best to live responsibly and faithfully as Christian citizens of this land.
