致中国驻南非大使

尊敬的大使,

作为旨在非洲大陆全面宣教的基督教机构:非洲联盟,我们的董事会来自许多国家的成员,在此写信给你,表达深切的不安甚至失望,因为洛桑会议中国代表被中国政府禁止出境前来参加会议 。

我们在这里向你保证,这是一次属灵的会议,而不是一次政治会议。

在非洲的土地上举行的这次国际宣教盛会,会因为中国教会代表的缺席而沮丧暗淡,并且也导致贵国的正面形象在非洲受到损害。我们呼吁并肯定你们的政府能够改变决定,放行那些参会代表。如果贵国政府能够听从这样的呼吁,那么,在非洲的数亿的基督徒一定会感到欣慰和感谢。

谢谢你,大使先生。

14 October 2010.
To His Excellency
The Chinese Ambassador to South Africa.

Your Excellency,

As the International Partnership Board of African Enterprise, a Christian ministry spanning the length and breadth of the African continent, we are writing to you to express deep concern and even dismay, that apparently the Chinese delegation to the Lausanne Congress in Cape Town (October 17-24) have been refused travel documents by the Chinese authorities.

In this regard we want to assure you that this is a spiritual and non-political gathering.

Insofar as this global Congress, hosted on African soil, will be much diminished by the non-presence of the Chinese delegation, and insofar as this will also damage the positive image of your country here in Africa, we do appeal and plead with your government to reverse this decision and allow your delegation to attend. Multiplied millions of Christians across Africa will be most relieved and thankful if your government would respond positively to this request.

Thank you, Sir.
With all good wishes,


Dr Michael Cassidy

On behalf of our ten leaders from:

South Africa
USA
UK
Canada
Australia
Belgium
Zimbabwe
New Zealand
Malawi
Rwanda
DRC
Kenya
Uganda
Ghana
Tanzania
Ethiopia
