Introduction

As an Anglo-Chinese school founded by a missionary one and a half century ago, St. Paul’s College, from the first day of its very existence, owes much to the Christian Gospel and traditions, which its founder regarded as the centre of his work in Hong Kong. In the hope that a Christian influence might be found in the lives of the students, Bible teaching, chapel, and student Christian activities were an unceasing part of the development of St. Paul’s College in the past 150 years.

Due to changes in the nature of the school and the social ethos in which it sets, the pattern and organisation of Christian activities in school changed accordingly. In the following article, the author would like to provide the readers with an overall picture of Christian activities in various stages of the school history with a particular emphasis in the development of Christian Union since the 1950s.

Records of Christian lives and activities in the College before the WWII were scarce. Thus the pre-War description in this article is only limited to the period when it was a theological training college for Chinese preachers (or catechists) (1899-1909) and the activities of YMCA in 1929.
