CCJC was created by eleven founding churches: the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Religious Society of Friends the Quakers, the Roman Catholic Church, the Salvation Army, the United Church of Canada, of which I am a minister, the Anglican Church of Canada, Canadian Baptist Ministries we have a representative from them today as well Christian Reformed Churches, Disciples of Christ, Evangelical Lutheran, and the Mennonite Central Committee.

It is right that the Central Asian governments should try to keep a grip on radicalising developments within Islam, but to require Christian churches to register with the government is, in my view, excessive.

Let me tell you who's making this statement: Archdeacon Jim Boyles, the General Secretary of the Anglican Church of Canada; the Reverend Mark Lewis, the Moderator of the 128th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada; the Reverend Dr. Ismael Noko, the General Secretary of the Lutheran World Federation; Don Peters, the Executive Director of the Mennonite Central Committee Canada; Monsignor Jean-Louis Plouffe, the Bishop of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario; the Reverend Raymond Schultz, the National Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada; and Anne Squire, the former Moderator of the United Church of Canada.

This included the Mennonite central committee, the Catholic church, the Anglican church, the United church, the Presbyterian church, the Reform church, and so on.

The coalition I work with is formed by the Anglican, United, Presbyterian, Christian Reformed, and Evangelical Lutheran churches of Canada, as well as the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, the Canadian Religious Conference, the Quakers, and the Mennonite Central Committee.
