Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe Opens Church Doors for 20 Years, Strengthening Community in Jeonju

The Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe (Doma Tribe) in Jeonju has continued a long-running community engagement initiative, keeping its church facilities open to local residents for nearly two decades. Located in Palbok-dong, Jeonju, the Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe Jeonju Church recently hosted another “Open Sanctuary” event, transforming its lobby into a welcoming space for neighborhood interaction. Residents gathered to enjoy busking performances, exchange handwritten message cards, and share tea in a relaxed setting. According to the church, the initiative is not a one-time event but part of a 20-year tradition of lowering physical and social barriers between religious facilities and the surrounding community. A “Barrier-Free Community Living Room” for Local Residents For two decades, the Thaddaeus Tribe has used its church space as what it describes as a “barrier-free Community Living room” — a place where: Seniors can rest comfortably Single-person households can find companionship ...

[Movie] The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)

Have you ever daydreamed?  
Do you like daydreaming? 

This movie is about a daydreamer Walter Mitty who goes on an adventure to find the missing negative #25.

Walter has never been anywhere or done anything special other than living his plain daily life. However, this adventure is making Walter walk outside his own box and discover a new "Walter."

Here are some lines from the movies that I would like to share.

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life." 

"Live life by the abc's... adventure, bravery and creativity."

"Life is about courage and going into the unknown."


I believe that this movie offers viewers to think about their innerself. 

We all have dreams but most of us easily put that dreams away to live a daily life to fulfill small things that might not be the essence of life. 
What is just ahead of us seems so big and important that we don't take bigger steps to fulfill what we really want to do in our life. 

What is the "true" purpose of your life?
What kind of life do you want to live?
What is your definition of life?

I hope everyone takes time to think about life and come up with their own definition of life after watching this movie.

Cleaning Kralingse Bos: A Park Loved by the City Kralingse Bos is a large urban lake park located on the eastern side of Rotterdam. Much like Seoul’s Hangang Park, it is a popular place for walking, running, and enjoying nature. Because so many people pass through every day, litter often gathers around the lakeside paths. A representative from Shincheonji Netherlands Church , part of the Bartholomew Tribe , explained that the city also recognized the need for clean...
