LOUISVILLE — A Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) peace delegation will travel to South Korea in November in response to Overture 12-01 and Committee Referral 12-13 that focus on the reunification of the Korean Peninsula and the need to build upon the increasing momentum toward peace. They were adopted at General Assembly 222 (2016) in Portland.
Leading the delegation is the Rev. J. Herbert Nelson II, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly. He is joined by the Rev. Jose Luis Casal, director of Presbyterian World Mission, the Rev. Robina Winbush, assistant stated clerk and director of the Office of General Assembly’s (OGA) ecumenical relations and the Rev. Mienda Uriarte, coordinator of World Mission’s Asia-Pacific office. The Rev. Ed Arnold and The Rev. Ed Kang, members of Cayuga-Syracuse Presbytery, originators of the overture, will also attend, as well as several Office of the General Assembly and Presbyterian Mission Agency representatives.
“Our delegation to Korea is a witness to our common faith and abiding love for our longstanding relationship as Christians,” said Nelson. “As we continue to advocate for the reunification of North and South Korea, it is important that we witness to our belief that God is still active in the causes that bring people together. It is also important that we give rise to our active engagement to challenge the indifference expressed by governmental leaders of North Korea and the United States.” Read more…
