Shanghai CC&TSPM held a certification awards ceremony for new pastoral staff.
More than 20 newly recognized pastors, elders, and preachers attended the conferring ceremony on September 6.
Rev. Geng Weizhong, chairman of the Shanghai Christian Council (CC), pointed out that the certificate recognition ceremony signified that pastoral staff had a "dual identity" of church and society and that staff members who accept the certificate should understand this from four aspects: self-positioning, group positioning, church positioning, and social positioning.
Representatives of elders and pastors receiving certificates took turns speaking.
