Taiwan: The Presbyterian Church Prays for Falun Gong (Photos)

By Zheng Xiaowei

(Clearwisdom.net) On September 21, 2007, the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan held a candlelight vigil to pray for the victims of the "9.21 Earthquake" and for Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted in China. This was the second time that the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan prayed for Falun Gong after they learned about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) organ harvesting of imprisoned practitioners last August.

Reverend Luo Rongguang expressed that September 21 is the International Day of Peace established by the United Nations. People all over the world, who love peace, pray in their own ways for peace.

The church prayed for Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted in China, and hoped they would have freedom as soon as possible.

Professor Chang Ching-his, the director of the Taiwanese Falun Dafa Association, and Wang Fenglan, the executive chief of the Asian Chapter of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG), attended the candlelight vigil.
