In order to maintain the safety and stability of religious activity sites, guide preachers and religious believers to actively participate in anti-cult work, and prevent cult infiltration, on 18 June, the Zhenhai District Minzong Bureau, the District Political and Legal Committee, and the District Christian “Two Associations” jointly held a training activity on anti-cult knowledge at Christian sites in Zhenhai District.
At the event, a responsible person of the Religious Affairs Department of the Ningbo Municipal Sect Bureau was invited to give a lecture entitled “Resolutely Resist Cult Heresy and Unswervingly Take the Road of Sinicization,” which gave lectures on what a cult is, its main characteristics and differences from religion, the current types and methods of infiltration of cults, and how to give play to the positive role of religious groups.
The training session emphasized that religious groups, clergy and religious believers should focus on the four aspects of “heightening vigilance, correct guidance, carrying forward traditions, and resolutely resisting”; It is necessary to actively publicize scientific knowledge and scientific thinking, enhance the ability to resist and guard against evil cults, earnestly recognize, distinguish, prevent, and oppose evil cults, conscientiously practice and adhere to the direction of sinicizing religions in our country, and raise the level of self-management of religious circles.
Through the distribution of “Anti-Cult Propaganda Pamphlets” and organizing visits to anti-cult propaganda display boards, the activities have further enhanced the anti-cult awareness of the broad masses of religious believers and enhanced their ability to identify various cult organizations. Those who participated in the activities expressed one after another that they should strive to be anti-cult propagandists, pay attention to increasing the content of publicizing anti-cults in their daily lectures on scriptures and teachings, guide the broad masses of religious believers to love the country and religion, speak and act righteously, and contribute to creating a harmonious and stable social environment.
