Christmas gala at Legislative Yuan focuses on reconciliation

>Reported by Lin Yi-ying

>Written by Lydia Ma

Legislative Yuan Fellowship, Full Gospel Fellowship, and Good TV  organized a Christmas

gala at Taiwan’s legislature on the night of December 15. The  event was also attended by

pastors from several Christian denominations and Christian  artists. Many had come together

on that day to pray for reconciliation among Taiwanese people and  among Taiwanese

>churches.

The gala began with Legislative Yuan President Wang Jing Pyng  reading the Beatitudes and

encouraging Taiwanese people to aim for all the traits that Jesus  mentioned during his

>Sermon on the Mount.

The highlight of the evening was when Chinan Presbyterian  Church’s Rev. Wang Yi-fang and

Taipei Mandarin Church’s Rev. Tu Te-ming came forward and  prayed together for Taiwan and

>Taiwanese churches.

The gala’s Emcee, Rev. Kou Shao-en, commented that though  these two pastors represented

two vastly different denominations and used different languages  when preaching, they had

been using the same church building for over ten years. Their  unity despite their different

backgrounds was possible because they served the same God –  Jesus Christ.

The two pastors prayed for Taiwanese people to love each other  despite their different

ethnicities and for unity among churches and pastors. They also  prayed for peace and unity to

overflow the Legislative Yuan so that righteous legislations could  be passed and benefit

>Taiwanese people.
