About
- Description
- Sheng Kung Hui（聖公會）literally means "Holy Catholic Church" in Chinese. It was the Chinese name used in the Church since mid-nineteenth century when the British Anglican and the American Episcopalian missionaries first came to China. The same Chinese characters （聖公會）are also used in the Anglican Church of Korea, the Nippon Sei Ko Kai in Japan and other Chinese Anglican and Episcopal churches in the region. Sheng Kung Hui had been rooting in Hong Kong for almost 170 years. The first presence of the Anglican Church in Hong Kong began with the appointment of The Revd. Vincent Stanton as Colonial Chaplain in 1843. After several years of planning and construction, St. John's Cathedral was founded in 1849, and St. Paul's College was established in 1851, as one of the oldest secondary school in the territory. In 1849, the Diocese of Victoria was created by Royal Letters Patent. The Rt. Revd. George Smith was appointed the first bishop in Hong Kong. Bishop Smith had a clear vision in the ministry of the local Chinese under his jurisdiction. St. Stephen's Church, the first Chinese Anglican Church in Hong Kong, was founded in 1865.
