Peace Concert for the WCC 11th General Assembly
On July 27, the Korean Preparatory Committee (Chair. Rev. Kang Yong-kyu), which was formed to prepare for the WCC 11th General Assembly in Karlsruhe, held a peace concert at Hanshin Church.
The Peace Concert was organized ahead of the WCC 11th General Assembly with prayers for peaceful reunification and commemorating the Korean armistice agreement signed on July 27, 1953. With a proposal made by the German church to WCC members worldwide, the event was organized by the Korean church and sponsored by the German Embassy in Korea.
Those that attended the Peace Concert included representatives of WCC member churches, the German ambassador to Korea, WCC staff, PROK general secretary Rev. Kim Chang Ju, and PROK moderator Rev. Kim Eun Kyoung.
