狄克遜牧師親切會見華亞裔牧師
週一下午狄克遜牧師在他偌大的教會會見了數位來自各地之華亞裔牧師, 並且對他們即將下月舉行之基督教佈道大會在休斯敦舉行表示由衷之支持和讃揚。 預計這個大會將有來自全世界七十多個國家的三千多位代表出席。
認識狄克遜牧師是由好弟兄國會議員艾爾格林介紹, 兩年多年當德州議會提出包括華人、 伊朗人不能在德州買土地房產時, 他們便挺身而出,由各族裔社區領袖組成聯合政線走向街頭,全面抗議這個違憲之法案。
多年來, 狄克遜牧師對於社會對待少數族裔之不公不義 發出巨大之反對聲 他的宗教及政界之影響力非常強大 透過他的電視節目及佈道大會 成為全美一股強大有力之聲音
在我們之會面交談中 他表示對華亞裔社區之關怀, 並希望今後保持密切聯繫, 為社區之和諧共同努力。
今天我們生活在非常不安之社會環境之中 ,槍支氾濫,道德水準不斷沉淪, 我們極待以教育及其他方式來推動社會道德之重整。
Bishop Dixon Kindly Met With Asian Chinese Pastors
On Monday afternoon, Bishop Dixon met with Asian Chinese pastors in his church and they expressed their sincere support and admiration for an upcoming Christian conference to be held in Houston next month. It is expected that more than 3,000 delegates from seventy countries will attend.
We have known Bishop Dixon since he was introduced to us by our good brother Congressman Al Green two years ago when the Texas legislature tried to ban Chinese from buying real estate in Texas. In a united response, the people stood up and formed a political alliance with community leaders and went on the streets to protest against this unconstitutional bill which was later defeated.
For many years, Bishop Dixon has voiced his strong opposition against the injust treatment of minorities. His religious and political influence is the true voice of America.
We are so proud and grateful to know this leader who can guide our community to fight for our rights.
