- Ms Ming-Min Lin Cheng, Presbyterian Church in Taiwan
- The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan offers to share with churches around the world the models we have developed and used in training members how to hold public forums and techniques for pursuing neutral third-party mediation to protect human rights in a non-violent manner.
- Rev. Gao Ying, China Christian Council
- In the Chinese mainland, it is impossible to address the role of the churches in Chinese society without having the issue of gospel and culture in mind. Being one of the world’s ancient countries, with a history of thousands of years, Chinese traditional culture largely shaped by its age-old different schools of philosophy still lingers on and can never be erased from ordinary Chinese people’s daily life.
- Rev. Prof. Renta Nishihara, The Anglican Church in Japan
- Japan’s demilitarization and constitutional commitment to oppose war has been the emblem of a nation once humbled by war but now strengthened through peace. Article Nine has been regarded around the world as a model for state pacifism. However, efforts in recent years both within Japan and internationally have tried to remove Article Nine or significantly weaken Japan’s commitment to peace.
