Practices of unethical conversion: Christian body denies involvement The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka, in a statement issued to the media has categorically denied their involvement of alleged practices of unethical conversion. "It must be stated categorically that our member churches do not engage in any form of alleged unethical practices of conversion. We are deeply concerned about the atmosphere of religious tension created by certain groups and the high incidents of reported violence against church workers and desecration of places of worship", the statement claimed. The statement signed by the NCEASL General Secretary along with five other leading members of different religious denominations of the Christian community has strongly condemned unlawful acts of arson, assault, threats, intimidation and desecration of places of worship of all religious denominations and deplored attempts by certain groups to incite hate and distrust of the Christian community. "The National Christian Evangelical Alliance has been in existence in Sri Lanka for 52 years and its membership comprises five Christian denominations including the Dutch Reformed Church, Salvation Army, Assemblies of God of Ceylon, Calvary Church and the Foursquare Gospel Church, and over 45 local churches and organisations. "We also deplore attempts by certain groups to incite hate and distrust of the Christian community using the media and poster campaigns". |
