在日本痛迎9級大地震,並同時承受著海嘯之苦的時候,香港基督教協進會總幹事蒲錦昌牧師15日致信予日本基督教協進會(NCCJ)會長Rev.Hiroko Ueda,對當地教會致以深切慰問。
蒲牧師在信中寫道,日本人們在「3‧11」地震以及海嘯中失去寶貴的性命甚至整個城巿,所承受的悲痛非旁人所能明白,但同為基督肢體的香港基督教協進會願與哀哭的人同哭,並表示願意為他們提供任何方面的幫助,更表示會在信心、盼望及愛心上與他們結成一線,又會禱告上帝賜給他們平安的心去面對日後的恢復和心靈重建的路。 《日本仙台地震、海嘯本會致日本基督教協進會慰問信》全文如下: March 15, 2011 To: Rev. Hiroko Ueda National Christian Council in Japan Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, At this tragic and heartbreaking time in Japan, the Hong Kong Christian Council sends its deepest condolence and prayers to your nation and its people. The magnitude of the destruction from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami is overwhelming with the devastating loss of precious lives and even whole cities. It is difficult for us to comprehend the pain and suffering that you are experiencing, yet as one body in Jesus Christ, please know that we weep with those who weep (Rom. 12:15). As Hong Kong and Japan have many links and relationships, we are ready to assist you in any way we can help during this crisis. We are sure that NCCJ and its partner churches are responding with full force to minister to the nation. We stand with you in faith, hope and love as you face the days ahead, and pray that God will give you all safety and the peace that passes understanding as you recover and rebuild your lives. Yours in Christ, Rev. Po Kam-Cheong General Secretary
