“PCT’s holistic approach to evangelism and the development of democracy in 
Taiwan are so intricately interconnected it can be an inspiration and model for 
the rest of the world,” said PCT General Assembly leaders during a seminar at 
the International Ecumenical Peace Convocation (IEPC) hosted by the WCC from 
May 17-25, 2011.  
They added that regardless of whether one studies PCT’s impact from an economic 
or a sociological viewpoint, how PCT has carried out its goals and done 
evangelism, as well as its ministry experience over the years are good models 
for other churches.
According to reports from the PCT delegation that participated in IEPC, when 
PCT was invited to give its ministry report, much focus was placed on 
post-Morakot response mechanism, rebuilding projects and aid because response 
to natural disasters is increasingly becoming a global concern now and PCT 
happens to be one of the very few church organizations that have such a 
detailed emergency response system.
