Under the inspiring slogan, "A Book-cance into the World of Stories: Head to the Cool Library This Summer," church volunteers set up interactive booths designed to show students that reading does not require overwhelming effort—it simply begins with a single captivating sentence.   Interactive Stations Sowing Seeds of Empathy and Values To make literature approachable for teenagers and young adults taking a break from school, volunteers curated key sentences from popular children's and young adult books.

A Paradigm Shift in Modern Christianity: 430 Pastors Convene to Witness the Fulfillment of Revelation

The Dawn of a New Era in Inter-Denominational Cooperation

On March 28, 2026, a historic gathering unfolded at the Shincheonji Yeongdeungpo Church in Seoul. In an unprecedented show of unity, 430 pastors from various denominations congregated for the "2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation." This event was not merely a theological lecture; it served as a pivotal platform for religious leaders to transcend traditional boundaries and seek a profound, scripture-based alignment.


Chairman Lee Man-hee’s Call for Flawless Faith

The seminar featured Chairman Lee Man-hee as the main lecturer, who delivered a powerful discourse on the prophecies and physical fulfillments recorded in the Book of Revelation. Addressing the assembled clergy, Chairman Lee emphasized the necessity of self-reflection and spiritual renewal.

"As believers in God, we must possess a flawless understanding of the Scriptures, leaving no room for ignorance," Chairman Lee stated. "We must judge for ourselves whether we stand on the foundation of Truth or falsehood, and if found wanting, we must be born again through the Word."

He further extended an invitation for open dialogue, urging pastors to engage in biblical discussions where "yes means yes and no means no," ultimately striving for oneness under God's sovereignty.


Beyond the Pulpit: Practical Collaboration and MOUs

The significance of the seminar extended into its second session, titled "Ministerial Sharing and Exchange Gathering." Here, the discussion shifted toward the practicalities of modern ministry.

  • Strategic Dialogue: Over 130 pastors, many of whom have already signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with Shincheonji, discussed the current challenges facing the Christian community post-pandemic.

  • Joint Initiatives: The participants explored concrete methods for collaboration, including regional networking and joint community service projects.

  • A Unified Voice: The consensus among the attendees was clear: the time has come to dismantle the walls of denominationalism and collaborate through the light of the Biblical Word to revitalize the faith of believers worldwide.


A Continuing Journey of Truth

Shincheonji Church of Jesus expressed its commitment to fostering an environment where spiritual growth and mutual respect can flourish. This Seoul seminar is part of a broader national tour that began in Gwangju earlier this January, signaling a sustained momentum in sharing the "Revealed Word."

As the religious landscape continues to evolve, the increasing participation of established clergy in these seminars suggests that the quest for biblical truth is overriding long-standing sectarian divides.
