今年5月24日,习仲勋同志在北京逝世。习仲勋同志长期致力于统一战线和民族宗教工作的探索和实践,为正确、全面贯彻党的民族宗教政策作出了卓越贡献。我刊特约原国务院宗教事务局局长任务之撰文,追忆习老指导宗教工作、落实宗教政策的往事。 On May 24 this year, Comrade Xi Zhongxun passed away in Beijing. Comrade Xi Zhongxun’s long-term commitment to the exploration and practice of the united front and ethnic and religious work has made outstanding contributions to the correct and comprehensive implementation of the party’s national and religious policies. I wrote an article dedicated to the original task of the Secretary for Religious Affairs of the State Council, recalling old habits of religious guidance and implementing religious policies.
