In this 1992 PCT statement, it opposed nuclear energy because it was not safe. It also caused problems for the nuclear waste disposal. The PCT therefore called for the use of renewable energy and a change of life-style by reducing energy consumption. The three visitors noted that in the ecumenical movement few churches have adopted such a policy. In fact, none of the churches in North East Asia has done so. In the WCC, it has a clear statement against nuclear weapons, but it had not been able to adopt an anti-nuclear energy policy. The PCT position was hailed by the visitors to be courageous, prophetic and visionary.
