I think the link to the PDF is bad.
Will the talks be in Korean or English?
I am told that all events will be primarily in English, and the few Korean speakers speeches will be translated into English except for Wednesday’s evening Prayer Vigil at KCPC and that all events are open to the public and are free.
Christianity is at the center of the contemporary Korean conflict, although 90% of people (including many in Korea itself) have to be dragged kicking and screaming to this conclusion. North Korea is the most hostile nation on earth towards Christianity and greatly fears missionary activity as it is a threat to the Juche cult. South Korea exports more missionaries per capita than any country in the world.
History is on the side of the South, the Church and the beleagured people suffering under the Kims in the DPRK.
