  • 1975 美東台灣人夏令會: his mother (同鄉蔡其芳的母親), together with 蔡明憲, rushed onto the closing-program stage and urged the assembled 同鄉 to return to Taiwan and fight for it, speaking through tears — an episode recalled by 總召集人王成章牧師 in his interview 2024.
  • 聖恩長老敎會 (NJ) planting team, 1998–1999: took part in the 植堂籌備 work — church-site surveys (Jan 1999), the Slackwood連席會議 preparations, and at the 創會感恩禮拜 (1999-04-04 復活節) he served as 接待 and 司獻 — per 2014-10.
  • HOLD: identity conflict — 2017 names “Cheng-Chang Charles Tsai” (with Dr. L. M. Beverly Chang) among the Formosan Christian Fellowship founders in St. Louis (~1978). English name matches; 漢名 differs from this page’s 蔡其芳 (TAH #961). Do not merge until confirmed same person.
