	Recommendations from the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan Concerning the Present Situation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Viewing the current situation of administrative crisis caused by the political divisions in Taiwan, we believe that Taiwan will face increasing difficulties in the future.
		The ruling party must recognize the fact that it does not exercise political authority over the mainland; and must very soon announce the end of "The Period of Communist Rebellion", rescind the "Temporary Provisions Effective During the Period of Communist Rebellion" and cease using the Constitution of the Republic of China.
		We earnestly hope that with independent self-rule, the relationship between Taiwan and China can be to the mutual advantage of both; that in foreign affairs there be mutual recognition, and that with trust there will be benefits for each so that both may exist and prosper side by side.
