The WCC governing body maintains the hope and vision that has guided more than 40 years of ecumenical engagement in the Tozanso Process, “that the Korean people divided by Cold War political forces will one day peacefully reunite and that peace will reign for all people on the Korean Peninsula and in the wider Northeast Asian region.”
The statement also encourages “all WCC member churches and ecumenical partners in Korea and around the world to continue their work for peace, mutual understanding, and human rights for all people on the Korean Peninsula.”
The WCC executive committee is meeting online 8 to 12 June.
