Join Church and Society for a three-day seminar diving into issues of peace on the Korean Peninsula.
The General Board of Church and Society will host the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Forum, November 13-15, 2017 in the United Methodist Building in Washington D.C. on Capitol Hill.
Participants will learn about the unrest and tension on the Korean Peninsula and what as people of faith can do. The forum is co-sponsored by the Korea Peace Committee.
The forum will be a time of worship, hearing from experts and gaining resources to continue and “pursue what makes for peace and mutual up building.“ (Romans 14:19)
