Today, we strongly denounce the biased administrative oppression against a religion committed by Gyeonggi-do government and Gyeonggi Tourism Organization in violation of Article 20 of the Constitution.

Article 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea states that Korea shall be a democratic republic, that its sovereignty resides in the people, and that all state authority shall emanate from the people. Members of Shincheonji Church are citizens of the Republic of Korea.

When a politician sides with a certain religion to make decisions that divide the people and takes hardhanded measures that harass Shincheonji Church, committing religious persecution based on favoritism, we shall fight against it and stand up for our rights.

Shincheonji Church will not succumb to external pressure at any rate. As God and Jesus have overcome, in the face of such unfairness and religious persecution, Shincheonji Church will prevail.

Therefore, we resolve as follows:

We shall employ all legal measures to ensure that the abuse of political authority fueled by religious discrimination stops immediately and systemic changes are made in the institution to prevent future cases;

We shall inform international human rights groups of the current religious oppression taking place in South Korea and bring the situation to the attention of the global community to protect our human rights;

We shall continue to fight until the demands for a sincere apology from Gyeonggi-do Governor Kim Dong-yeon and rightful repayment in damages from Gyeonggi Tourism Organization are met;

We shall continue to fight until every citizen of this nation is treated fairly and equally, without discrimination, and fully enjoys freedom of religion as stipulated in Article 20 of the Constitution.

Dear my friends. Let’s talk about something pretty outrageous that recently happened in South Korea. The Gyeonggi-do Government and Gyeonggi Tourism Organization pulled a last-minute move that left a lot of people stunned and frankly, quite upset. They abruptly canceled a major event hosted by the Shincheonji Church of Jesus at Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park. Let’s dive into the details and see why this is a big deal. 🕵️‍♂️

The Well-Prepared Event That Never Was 📝❌

So, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus had everything set for their big event at Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park. They got the venue authorization back in July and paid all the fees by October 2. They even had working-level meetings with the authorities on October 16 to nail down all the details – from the event scale and floor plans to safety measures and special effects fireworks. 🚀🎇 Sounds pretty thorough, right? But then, boom! On the first day of the event, Gyeonggi Tourism Organization sends a sudden notice canceling the venue reservation. No heads up, no prior discussion. Just a flat-out cancellation. Talk about a curveball! ⚾

The Fishy Pretext for Cancellation 🐟🤔

Here’s where things get even murkier. Just days before the event, on October 16, the Gyeonggi-do government declared Paju City a danger zone, supposedly to prevent anti-North Korean flyers. When the church asked about it, they were told it was unrelated to their event. But guess what? This “danger zone” excuse was later used to cancel their reservation. 🤷‍♂️ Other events at the same location went ahead without a hitch, which makes you wonder if there were other, less noble reasons behind the cancellation. Governor Kim Dong-yeon cited the risk of provoking North Korea, but it seems more like a convenient excuse than a real concern. 🌍

The Fallout: Financial and Emotional Toll 💸😔

The cancellation wasn’t just a minor inconvenience. It caused a significant financial hit and a lot of heartbreak. The church had invested tens of billions of Korean Won into this event, which was set to welcome international guests from all over the world. Graduates, religious leaders, and participants had all traveled to Korea, only to find out their plans had been derailed at the last minute. This sudden change not only wasted a lot of money but also caused a lot of embarrassment on an international scale. 🌏😢

Seeking Accountability and Justice ⚖️🗣️

Now, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus isn’t taking this lying down. They’re demanding an official explanation and an apology from the Gyeonggi-do Government and Gyeonggi Tourism Organization. They’re calling for an end to religious discrimination in administrative actions and are ready to take legal action to protect their rights. 🗯️🚨 The church is even prepared to take to the streets if necessary to ensure justice and equality for all citizens. 📢✊

The Bigger Picture: Why This Matters 🌐👥

This isn’t just about one event. It’s about the principles of fairness, transparency, and religious freedom that are supposed to be guaranteed to everyone. Public agencies have a duty to act in the best interests of all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs. This sudden cancellation, without prior notice or discussion, shows a severe lack of transparency and accountability in the decision-making process. 🏛️🔍

When public agencies act unfairly or discriminatorily, it undermines public trust and erodes confidence in government institutions. That’s why the Shincheonji Church of Jesus is calling for other religious and civil society groups to stand with them and support their fight for justice. Together, they hope to ensure that such incidents don’t happen again and that every citizen enjoys equal rights and freedoms. 🤝🌟

Moving Forward: Standing Together for Justice and Equality ✊🙏

This situation highlights the urgent need for accountability and transparency in how public agencies operate. It also underscores the importance of upholding the principles of religious freedom and equality, which are fundamental to a democratic society. As the Shincheonji Church of Jesus continues to seek justice, it’s essential that we all stand together to support these principles. 🌈🕊️

By raising awareness and holding public agencies accountable for their actions, we can ensure that every citizen enjoys the same rights and freedoms without discrimination. Together, we can build a society that respects and upholds the principles of justice, equality, and religious freedom for all. 🚀🙏

A Historic Gathering of Faith Leaders 🙏

Over 450 attendees, including more than 250 pastors from across the nation, came together for an inspiring seminar. The energy was palpable as Chairman Man-hee Lee urged everyone to “truly become one in the Word.” 🌟

Bridging Denominations for Peace 🕊

Pastor Kim, with over 40 years of service in the Presbyterian Church, shared his profound experience at the “Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation” held on June 8th at the Shincheonji Peace Training Center in Cheongpyeong. He expressed, “I want to understand the words of Revelation well and share it with my fellow pastors. By transcending denominations and uniting under Jesus’ ‘Revelation,’ I believe we can bring peace to this land and to ourselves.” 🌍✌️

The Seminar That Captivated Many 🔍

Responding to ongoing requests from pastors after successful seminars in Ulsan and Busan, this event saw over 450 curious attendees eager to learn about the fulfillment of Revelation. Organized by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, led by Chairman Man-hee Lee, the seminar was a resounding success. 📖✨

Chairman Lee’s Enlightening Message 🌟

Chairman Man-Hee Lee delivered a compelling explanation of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and the evidence of its physical fulfillment, earning warm applause from the pastors. He emphasized, “If the words of the Bible are being fulfilled according to the prophecy, you must check it and if it is correct, you must believe. Whether power or honor, nothing in the world can compare to the blessings given by God. Shouldn’t we value these words of life that Jesus gave us by sacrificing his life?” 🙌

A Call for Unity and Dialogue 🤝

Chairman Lee continued, “We are people who believe what is written in the Bible. We all believe in the same God, Jesus, and the word given by the same God. Why should we become enemies or fight when nothing is different between us?” His call for unity was powerful: “Rather than blindly condemn others as heresy or take sides, let’s discuss with each other if there are different interpretations of the scriptures. Let’s have a conversation. Let us really become one in the Word.” 🗣💬

Personal Reflections from Attendees 📝

A pastor with over 40 years of ministry experience, who recently began studying the Book of Revelation through exchanges with Shincheonji Church of Jesus, shared his newfound understanding: “I have never learned about the Book of Revelation and have been neglecting it. Now that I am studying the revealed words through Shincheonji Church of Jesus, I have come to understand the Bible as a whole, and am realizing that it is truly God’s will as well as a good opportunity.” 🌟

Elder Lee, with over 40 years of religious life in the Presbyterian Church and experience in pioneering churches, was equally impressed: “I am sure I am not the only one who was surprised by the practical, systematic, and logical lecture of Chairman Man Hee Lee who is advanced in age. I was impressed by the lecture in which I listened carefully with an analytical attitude because everything was realistic.” 🧠✨

A Growing Trend in the Religious World 🌍

Shincheonji Church of Jesus Christ has seen successive attendance of pastors and religious elders and positive changes in perception through Bible seminars held over the last several years. This trend is becoming mainstream within the religious world. As of June 5th, a total of 646 MOUs for the exchange of words have been signed between Korean domestic churches and Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Internationally, 12,538 churches in 83 countries have signed MOUs, and 1,341 churches in 41 countries have changed their signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus Christ. 🌐✍️

A Vision for the Future 🌟

An official from Shincheonji Church of Jesus stated, “We will continue to hold the Bible Seminar in Korea as well as in each continent throughout the year to publicize the evidence of the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation worldwide.

1. Why Europe Bible Seminar?

Over 7,000 participants, including approximately 1,000 pastors, attended the Shincheonji Europe Bible Seminar held in Paris, France on June 15 (local time).

This Bible Seminar was held in response to numerous requests from pastors in Europe seeking revival of European Christianity, and was a part of the '2024 Shincheonji’s Bible Seminar by Continent’ that began in the Philippines on April 20th.

2. How has the European Christianity changed?

European Christianity, the starting point of Christian revival, has been seeing declines and churches being sold to restaurants, pubs, clubs, and other business.

According to data predicting the future Christian population by the Center for World Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in the U.S., the Christian population in Europe increased to 560 million in the 2000s, but stagnated this year (2024) and will actually fall to 490 million in 2050.

Along with modernization and industrialization of the society, Europe began to move toward secularization. Teaching based on the Bible in the church dried up with the rise of liberal theology.

I hope this Europe Bible Seminar to serve as an opportunity for the revival of the European churches.

3. Chairman Man-hee Lee: "Understand Revelation and teach it to your church members"

Prior to the Bible seminar, there was a discussion session under the theme of ‘the role of pastors in spiritual enlightenment of modern Christians.’

Following discussion session, Chairman Man-hee Lee said, “God’s work is accomplished according to the Book of Revelation, which cannot be added to or subtracted from. We (everyone who listens to this lecture) must know who I am in the Book of Revelation.”

He emphasized that “I hope that all of you (pastors) will understand these words and teach them to your saints. You must not add or subtract the book of Revelation and must teach your own church members.”

A pastor from Poland also said, “It brought tears to my eyes to see European pastors and believers becoming one. I want to spread this word to more people. Please tell me how I can spread it to many people.”

I think it's incredible what's happening in this seminar, and it's only by the grace of God that people of faith, who have never known each other outside of their own churches, are coming together like this.

God will lead the way. It may be embarrassing and painful to expose your ignorance, but it is clear that God will give you something greater.
