At this historical juncture, over 80 theologians, clergy, women and youth leaders from Asia, North America, and Europe who have dedicated themselves to justice, peace, unity and solidarity, gathered at St. Bede(Daehakro) Church, Anglican Church of Korea in Seoul from June 30 to July 1 under the theme “Far-Right Extremism and the Response of the Global Church.” We reaffirmed that the immense crisis faced by Korean society is by no means an exceptional situation.
