Greater Tainan Mayor William Lai’s inauguration held at PCT church



Reported by Sam Lee

Written by Lydia Ma



Newly-elected Greater Tainan Mayor William Lai underscored during his 
inauguration ceremony and thanksgiving service that he would rely on 
God in every matter and decision-making during his term in office as 
major. He hoped Tainan would serve as a model city leading Taiwan in 
the areas of autonomy, normalcy, and greatness when it comes to 
governing.



The ceremony held at Tainan East Gate Barclay Memorial Church on 
December 26, 2010, was also attended by many members of his cabinet, 
as well as city legislators, some of them also Christians. The major 
also said he hoped to start a Christian fellowship within Tainan City 
Hall for all Christian politicians.



During this service, all participants and pastors in attendance 
prayed to God for the new mayor and for all of Tainan. They prayed 
for God to give the new mayor and his team wisdom in governing Tainan 
and promoting Tainan so that it would become a renown, world-class 
city. They also prayed for the Gospel to spread far and wide across 
Tainan and bless all of the city’s inhabitants.



The ceremony’s sermon was delivered by Rev. C.M. Kao. He alluded to 
the spirit of Christmas and pointed to Christ as model to encourage 
Mayor Lai – and the other 4 new mayors who were supposedly 
inaugurated on that day in other parts of the country. 



Rev. Kao remarked that all mayors ought to remember Jesus as their 
model and remember that with great powers come greater expectations 
of humility and willingness to be a servants of the people.
