(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.
