- "[A] regional meeting was organized in Tarawa, Kiribati from 7-9 February 2005 focusing on the rights of nuclear victims. We are aware that several non-government organizations and agencies have already taken up these issues, and we do not want to duplicate their efforts or directly compete with them in any way. Our objective is to supplement the efforts of these NGOs through our church networks to undertake a direct role in addressing the issues of the nuclear victims in the Pacific and other common areas of concern. This report documents our efforts, our stories and our many country reports, including biblical and theological reflections. We believe this material will provide interesting reading." -- Executive Summary, p. 6.
