John Gowdy (the then-superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Mission) and Rev. Yu Xingli (余兴礼, a Chinese Methodist pastor) purchased on East Street what used to be the mansion and rebuilt it into a city institutional church named Central Institutional Church or Siong Iu Dong (尚友堂, "church for social intercourse").<br />In the Republic of China Era, Siong Iu Dong was an influential religious organization, working chiefly for the official and literary class.It established Jinde School (进德学校, later changed to Jinde Girls' Middle School / 进德女中) which was engaged in the teaching of modern culture and served as the preparatory school for Foochow Anglo-Chinese College (鹤龄英华中学), and also founded Siong Iu Dong Kindergarten. But all school activities were put to an end during the Japanese Occupation in the 1940s.<br />In the 1950s Siong Iu Dong was affiliated to the Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), subordinate to the communist control. During the Cultural Revolution (1966 - 1976), however, even the TSPM was strictly banned, and all church services ceased. <br />On October 28, 1979, Siong Iu Dong became the first church in Fuzhou to restore religious activities, with its name changed to Flower Lane Church, after the street name of its location. Rev. Liu Yangfen was assigned as pastor in charge.Rev. Liu Yangfen (刘扬芬) paid a visit to Sibu at 1990's.<br />more details:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_Lane_Church天鵝江畔https://www.blogger.com/profile/09311878358938426840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-15542740460853001922010-04-27T09:15:51.390+08:002010-04-27T09:15:51.390+08:00holy and gracious.holy and gracious.wennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535757998884625545noreply@blogger.com
