CCA prays for peace and reconciliation in Sri Lanka12 October 2009 The Rev. Dr. Jayasiri Peiris General Secretary National Christian Council of Sri Lanka Colombo, Sri Lanka Dear Dr. Peiris: At the just-concluded meeting of the General Committee of the Christian Conference of Asia, in which you are in attendance, concerns were raised about the situation of Mr. Santha Fernando's continuing detention and the political situation in Sri Lanka. You have informed the General Committee of continuing efforts to minister to the needs of Mr. Fernando and the work for his release. The NCCSL is also engaged in responding to the relief and rehabilitation work going on those who have been internally displaced in the aftermath of the long war that has raged in Sri Lanka. CCA and its member churches and Councils remain committed to the protection of the rights of the Tamil minority and the final settlement of the conflict, including full rehabilitation of the victims. Members of the CCA General Committee have offered their prayers and support for the continuing work of peace and reconciliation in Sri Lanka through the NCCSL and member churches. Yours faithfully, PRAWATE KHID-ARN General Secretary cc:
