The WEA wishes to express its concern over the recent incidents related to Shouwang Church and the local authorities, and calls upon its member constituency to pray for a peaceful resolution to the situation.
Despite all the reasons that led to confrontations between church members and authorities, we pray that the situation can be equitably resolved. It is our belief and understanding that the Church in China wishes to be a blessing to their nation, to be good and faithful citizens, and to participate in nation building together with all Chinese.
We call upon all Christians to pray for the Church in China and specifically for this situation. May the Father’s peace and protection surround those who are amid difficulties and may both sides find a way of bringing about an environment conducive for a peaceful resolution.
