	Presbyterian Church in Taiwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Taiwan, Presbyterians have historically been active in promoting the use of the local vernacular Taiwanese, both during the Japanese colonial period, as well as after the transfer of rulership to the Republic of China, during which the exclusive use of Mandarin was legally mandated.
		In terms of polity, the PCT has a general assembly, and only one synod (the Northern Synod); the presbyteries in the south of the island connect directly to the general assembly.
		While most of these churches are affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), or the Presbyterian Church in Canada, or United Church of Canada, the liturgy and church practices are rooted in the Taiwanese Presbyterian tradition, and pastorships are usually filled by ministers trained in the PCT.

		Our General Assembly's current abortion policy says that the church "[has] neither the wisdom nor the authority to address or decide each situation," meaning those situations in which abortion decisions are made.

		After the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan published its Statement on Our National Fate on the 29 December 1971, we received responses from many quarters.
		When the Church of Christ in either of these two cases produces a statement, this kind of statement is not basically political, but is a confession of faith.
