Greetings of Kim Hyo-Sung to the Connecticut Conference
Dear Moderator, Conference Minister Rev. Dr. David Crabtree and Members of the Connecticut Conference UCC. As the moderator of Kyung Ki Presbytery, it is my honor and great joy that I bring greetings as you gather for the 136th Annual Meeting. These opportunities to be together strengthen our Partnership and reaffirm the wondrous unity we know in Jesus Christ. In these days when violence, war and hostility seem to dominate our world, we are especially thankful to have you who show us witness on behalf of human rights, justice and peace as partners in the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ. We, Kyung-ki Presbytery, pray for peace with justice and reconciliation for our world, for Iraq, for Afghanistan, for Palestine, for North Korea, and particularly for America. The world is not made up of one part but of many. If an American should say "Because I am not an Iraqi, I do not belong to the world," or if a Korean should say "Because I am not a Colombian, I do not belong to the world," they would not, for that reason, cease to be part of the world. We must know that if one part suffers, every part suffers with it Partners in Christ ! You are the world we are the world. We must take care of the other parts of our world. A piece of bread can make a friend but the thousand dollars of bullets will only make enemies. I believe that through our partnership, Christ is at work for peace. Last but not least, In behalf of Kyung Ki Presbytery, I would like to thank you for your hospitality to the members of "Family Mission Trip 2003." Also I would like to extend our special thanks for support in passing the resolution "Advocating Peace and Reconciliation in the Korean Peninsula" at the 24th General Synod. We hope that you will come and visit us and we will return the love which you have shown us. May God bless the ministries of the Connecticut Conference and our partnership. Thank you. The Rev. Kim Hyo-Sung, Moderator, Kyung-Ki Presbytery |
