1 April 2014 (Canada) Greetings of peace to you during this Lenten season! Hope this email finds you well together with other colleagues in the PCT. I am responding to your email on behalf of Patti Talbot who is currently on Sabbatical Leave. I would like to thank you for sending us an update through Michael Stainton, concerning the current situation in Taiwan. We hope and pray that this situation will be resolved in a peaceful way and for the government to listen to the voice of the people of Taiwan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the people of Taiwan as you affirmed and uphold the PCT Confession of Faith that “the church is called through love and suffering to become a sign of hope” and be a witness to the faith, to protect and preserve Taiwan as a sovereign nation. Blessings and peace, Josie H. Forcadilla
