"Age and Rank Don't Matter": The Hanam Bible Seminar Redefines Spiritual Humility

The Momentum Continues in Hanam

The "2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar" tour shows no signs of slowing down. On April 25, the movement arrived at the Gangdong Church in Hanam, Gyeonggi Province. Approximately 600 participants, including a significant number of clergy, filled the sanctuary to capacity, while thousands more joined via the global YouTube livestream.


Chairman Lee: "Truth is the Only Authority"

The seminar’s keynote speaker, Chairman Lee Man-hee, delivered a direct and challenging message to today’s religious leaders. His focus was on the absolute necessity of mastering the Book of Revelation to guide congregants correctly.

“If you do not know Revelation, how can you teach it accurately?” Chairman Lee asked. He emphasized that in an era where the prophecies have physical realities, there is no room for falsehood.

The Highlight of the Lecture: He broke traditional social hierarchies by stating, "Even if it is a young child, if they have mastered Revelation, even an elder must go and learn from them." This call for radical humility—prioritizing Truth over age or position—deeply resonated with the audience.


A Success Story: From Doubt to Revival

A standout moment of the Hanam seminar was the testimony of Pastor Kim from Suwon, who signed an MOU with Shincheonji in June 2023. His story provides a blueprint for how traditional churches and Shincheonji can coexist and flourish.

  • Breaking the Mold: Initially cautious, Pastor Kim’s perspective shifted when he saw the sincerity in Shincheonji’s service and evangelism.

  • Revitalization through Word: After studying the Word himself, he introduced reciprocal preaching, where Shincheonji instructors lead services every other week.

  • Tangible Results: The result wasn't just a physical renovation of the church building, but a spiritual awakening. Currently, about 20 members of his congregation are actively studying the Revealed Word, leading to what he calls "a practical history of life and revival."


The Post-Seminar Forum: Beyond the Lecture

Unlike typical religious events, the Hanam seminar was followed by a Pastors' Discussion Session. Leaders gathered to debate why Christianity remains divided and how the warning in Revelation 22:18-19 (not adding or subtracting from the Word) should be understood. This interactive format proved that the seminar is not just a one-way lecture, but a platform for theological reconciliation.

A Lesson in Humility

As another Presbyterian elder at the event noted, "Words are meaningless without action." The Hanam seminar proved that when denominations lower their walls and prioritize the "Revealed Word," the result is not conflict, but growth. The 2026 tour continues to prove that the standard of "Orthodoxy" is simply the Truth itself.
