(Midland, Texas (CAA)-May 19, 2006) CAA learned that the second China Bible Ministry Exhibition in the United States, sponsored by the Chinese government opened in Atlanta today.
To be held at the Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, Northeast Atlanta, the exhibition Bible Ministry Exhibition of the Church in China,” will be run from May 19 thru May 24. This is the second time in the United States following the first one in Los Angeles from late April to early May.
Those who know well about the operation of Chinese government and its sanctioned religious organizations should acknowledge this exhibition is nothing but a PR campaign to cover up the religious persecution image in the US.
“It’s rather ironical that Beijing House Church pastor Cai Zhuohua is serving for three years sentence in the Chinese prison for printing Bibles in China since last year while the propaganda message of this Bible exhibition is that there is freedom to print Bibles in China”, said Rev. Bob Fu, President of CAA, “It’s a shame for the organizers to invite the top Communist Party religious persecutor like Mr. Ye Xiaowen and Ms. Cao Shengjie to spread lies to American people.” As the director of the State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA) of China, Mr. Ye Xiaowen is directly responsible for hundreds of arrests of House church pastors and other persecution cases to independent religious groups. Ms. Cao Shengjie is the leader of the Chinese Communist Party controlled organization with religious uniforms which is called the China Christian Council (CCC).
CAA calls American people of faith to contact the organizers to address your concern.
