As a Christian in Hong Kong, I am not only interested in the economic aspects of consolidation with our neighboring city; I am also interested in cross-border and cross-cultural exchanges of spiritual life between the communities.

The perplexities Daniel the prophet faced serving the holy Lord, while at the same time serving earthly kings in the midst of less than godly practices, can be relevant for the complexities we face today.

Although there may be increasing restrictions for believers in the future, God’s sovereignty is still in force. Socio-political and economic changes can be used by God as instruments to accomplish his purposes.

The prophets’ bifocal view, the far-sighted perspective of the mission of God and caring for the near neighbor and kinsmen before their eyes, helps me reflect on how our faith communities in Hong Kong should reframe our attitudes in facing the challenges ahead.
