On the afternoon of December 12, the Ruian Municipal Party Committee’s Theoretical Study Center Group Study Enlargement Meeting and the Religious Work Special Seminar for Leading Cadres of the City were held in the municipal compound. Jiang Xiansheng, deputy secretary of the party group and deputy director of the Wenzhou Municipal Sect Bureau, was invited to attend and gave a special report on “Feelings, Reason, and Law in the Management of Grassroots Religious Affairs – Studying and Implementing the Spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party”. The workshop was presided over by Lin Shengzan, member of the Standing Committee of the Ruian Municipal Party Committee and director of the United Front Work Department, and attended by all the leaders of the four sets of municipal teams.
Jiang Xiansheng focused on the current situation of religion in Wenzhou, combined with the actual situation of Rui’an’s work, and interpreted it from the aspects of “religious work is essentially mass work”, “adhering to the direction of Sinicization of religion in China”, and “improving the level of legalization of religious work”. He pointed out: First, it is necessary to do a good job in the work of the people’s sect with affection and heart, take “interview-style communication”, “quadrangle salon” and “concentric circle action” as the starting point, and focus on the “1+2+N” mechanism, clarify the division of responsibilities, and give play to the role of religious circles; second, it is necessary to actively guide religions to adapt to socialist society, and constantly enhance “political identity, cultural integration, and social adaptation”; third, it is necessary to continuously improve the level of self-management of religious circles and the level of rule of law in the governance of religious affairs.
The trainees said that the language of the whole report was vivid and the cases were vivid, and the profound analysis and accurate exposition of religious work not only had a theoretical height, but also had strong practical significance, and broadened the thinking for carrying out the work of the people’s religion. In the next step, Shui On will continue to adhere to bottom-line thinking, deepen the tasks of risk elimination and security, and effectively maintain harmony and stability in the religious field.
