The 6th meeting of the 56th General Assembly Executive Committee took place on 
March 13, 2012, at PCT General Assembly Headquarters. This marked the last 
meeting of the executive committee before the General Assembly Annual

committee members and incoming committee members attended this meeting, 
incoming members only listened in and did not vote on matters. 

The meeting’s highlight included a vote to approve the list of candidates 
contesting for the position of the General Secretary of the PCT, a vote on a 
mission partnership agreement with a church in Malaysia, the confirmation of 
Yang Yu-cheng and Huang Tsuu-yuan as hospital superintendents for Mackay 
Memorial Hospital and Sinlau Hospital respectively, the confirmation of the 
first Sunday of November as “Remembering Gender Justice Sunday” and the first 
Sunday of July as “Remembering Social Welfare Ministries Sunday” and more.

The list of candidates running for the position of General Secretary starting 
2013 are as follow: Rev. Lyim Hong-tiong, Rev. Chiohh Lyiam Syian, Rev. Chen 
Sin-liang, Rev. Cheng Hong-hui, Rev. Daniel Cheng, and Rev. Sakinu.
