The trauma and heartbreak of the Korean War continues to linger many decades after the signing of an agreement to end active military fighting on the Korean Peninsula.
The 70th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice is Thursday. Our denomination, the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea, will hold a peace prayer for the reunification at Gwang-hwa-mun Square in Seoul on that day. But can our prayers change the state of cease-fire on the Korean Peninsula?
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, which means that Korean society has been living in a state of war for 70 years.
In the face of this historical tragedy, Korean Christians are repenting for the past of confrontation and conflict, hoping and praying that a peace agreement will be signed and that there will be reconciliation and reunification on the Korean Peninsula.
