Kaihua County held a meeting on the work of religious groups.
On February 27th, Kaihua County held the 2023 working conference on religious groups, and the chairmen (presidents), vice-chairmen (vice-presidents) and secretaries-general of various religious groups in the county attended the conference. Cheng Yihua, deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the county party committee and director of the Religious Affairs Bureau, presided over the meeting and arranged the deployment of relevant work in 2023.
The meeting conveyed and studied the spirit of the working meeting of the director of the provincial religious affairs bureau and the speech of Bao Xiuying, director of the provincial religious affairs Committee, and listened to the work reports of various religious groups in 2022 and the work plans for 2023.
The meeting pointed out that in 2022, various religious groups made unremitting efforts in adhering to the direction of China religion in China, uniting believers to love their country and religion, promoting the healthy inheritance of religion, maintaining harmony and stability in the religious field, preventing and controlling epidemic situation, and going online financially, and achieved phased results, making positive contributions to the county’s economic and social development.
The meeting emphasized that only religions that adapt to the socialist society and realize China can play an active role in promoting the economic and social development of our county. All religious groups should deeply understand the connotation of religious China, combine the educational activities of “advocating frugality and abstinence from extravagance”, cultivate the feelings of “patriotism and love for religion”, and promote the transformation of religious China from “externalization in form” to “internalization in mind”.
The meeting demanded that all religious groups should strengthen their responsibility and play a good role as a bridge. It is necessary to educate and guide religious figures and the broad masses of religious believers to preach and believe in religion according to law, consciously guard against infiltration from abroad and erosion of religious extreme thoughts, resist illegal religious activities, be honest and upright, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of religious circles.
The meeting stressed that all religious groups should optimize their leading bodies. County Christian “two sessions” should take this year’s change of religious groups as an opportunity, and insist on selecting talents who are “politically reliable, religiously accomplished, morally convincing and effective at key times” to join the religious groups. It is necessary to give full play to the functions of groups, strengthen the education, guidance and supervision of places for religious activities and religious personnel, and be a good assistant to the party and the government in carrying out religious work.
