Role in the Community

  • 1974 — First attended the US East Coast Taiwanese Summer Assembly (美東台灣人夏令會) after relocating from Singapore to New Jersey; moved by it and joined the movement’s circle — oral-history interview [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-392|#392 楊遠薰 interview]]
  • 1975 — General convener (總召集人) of the 6th US East Coast Taiwanese Summer Assembly after the original convener resigned; hosted the筹备 committee at his home and arranged tent camping when the Camp of Woods site overflowed (~350+ attendees the prior year, motels around the site full) — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-392|#392]]
  • Remembered among the Princeton Theological Seminary / 和平契友 circle of theology students whose神學座談會 fed the assemblies’ preaching roster — memoir [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys268|#268 徐頌鵬 memoir]], which names the cohort: 駱維仁、高天香（駱維仁夫人）、蕭清芬、謝穎男、郭得烈、許錦銘、鄭學仁、許明昭、陳錦聰, plus 宋泉盛、周神耀、駱維道 in New York and 鄭義勇、林天民 at Yale; listed among the pastors preaching at the 1977 Brown University assembly — memoir [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys338|#338 張啟典 memoir]]. HOLD: conflict — #392 says he first came to the US (New Jersey) from Singapore in 1974, while #268 counts him among East Coast Princeton Seminary students known from the early 1970s.
  • 1999–2000s — Repeatedly invited supply preacher and guest lecturer at Grace Taiwanese Presbyterian Church (聖恩長老敎會, Lawrenceville NJ); his 1999-11-03 lecture 「活在這世紀末」 drew ~90 同鄉 — church-plant memoir [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys43|#43 劉照男]]
  • Long-serving in the North American Christian Association (北美基督教協會); respected Old Testament scholar — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whoswho1429|TAH #1429]]
  • HOLD: conflict on birth year — Identity Snapshot era 1953 vs #392 interview 1935, born in Yilan to a Christian family (grandfather 王春生傳道師, a student of Dr. Mackay; father 王兼優, elder of Yilan Church).
  • HOLD: conflict on undergraduate college — page lists 台灣神學院 B.Th vs #392 says 台南神學院 after 宜蘭高中.
  • HOLD: M.Th year — page lists Union Theological Seminary in Virginia 1964 vs #392 says he left for the US in 1964 and earned the degree three years later (~1967).
  • Supply pastor during the inter vacancy of the NJ 台美團契基督長老教會 (New Brunswick area): before 謝敏川牧師’s installation as the church’s second pastor on 1986-11-02, 王成章 preached alongside 張德香牧師 and 黃武東牧師 to sustain the congregation — church history [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys14|#14 紐澤西台美團契基督長老教會歷史]] (extends the #43 Lawrenceville supply-preaching record).
  • Re-grep 2026-09-21: corpus hits (#392 interview, #338 張啟典, #268 徐頌鵬, #43 劉照男, #1429 Who’s Who) are all already absorbed above. #338 adds color to the 1977 Brown University assembly where Wang preached: 張啟典 records a suspected 國民黨 spy (flat haircut, mainland accent, fake NY phone number) disrupting that year’s assembly, and the 1977 program mixed pastors (吳明雄、鄭義勇、郭榮敏、王成章、林興隆) with speakers 陳錦芳、洪哲勝、李豐明, plus a 張金策 human-rights report — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys338|#338]]. HOLDs above remain unresolved.

From the record

  • 2024-07 — The Our Journeys index lists #392 「美東台灣人夏令會1975年總召集人 王成章牧師的專訪」 as a July 2024 issue article, the reciprocal link this page previously lacked — Our Journeys 目錄. The index line is a listing, not a quotation by him, so nothing is added under Quotes.
