The President of the NCCA, Reverend Professor James Haire stated "we very much regret the threats some people have made towards Indonesia and its representatives here in Australia, and we express our sympathy with them. Christians believe in good order in society, as the Bible teaches. We call on the Australian community to respect Indonesia, its laws and its people, and to celebrate the close ties between our two countries."
The General Secretary of NCCA, Reverend John Henderson also added "Since the generous and humane response to the tsunami there have been increasingly warm relations between Australia and Indonesia. This is how good neighbours act in times of trouble. We grow in stature as a nation when we act compassionately in the best interests of our neighbours, and every Australian can be proud of that."
The NCCA has close affiliation with the Communion of churches in Indonesia and with other faith communities through continuing channel of communication through programmes encouraging the understanding and awareness of each others various beliefs and practices.
