In a sense, I am not just an ELCA pastor anymore. I am endorsed and supported by both church bodies. I hope this can have a positive impact on the relationship between the two churches back home. It's fitting that the LCMS and ELCA have managed to put aside any doctrinal disagreements to cooperate in spreading Christ's message in Korea. International sits less than 30 miles from the 38th Parallel, the world's heaviest concentration of military hardware and the border between North and South Korea.

We simply cannot exist as isolated nations and peoples anymore. This diverse church is a beacon of peace in a country still technically at war. We can discuss and worship together and understand each other. Perhaps his prayers will be heard and Korea will know peace as a country again. 8765 w. higgins rd.
