Such a lovely photo, and just as I remember him when I first met him as a participant at the Singapore ITI in 1969.  He was in my pedagogy guild and ever thereafter addressed me as “teacher” — quite humbling to me.  So I learned to address him “mok sa nim”, an address of respect which I’ve probably misspelled.  It was an honor for Joe to be asked to preach at his church when we were in Seoul for the Jeju Consult in 1976.  Our UMC New England Conference has benefitted for years from the service of capable Korean pastors and laity.

He told us the story of being on his knees in gravel under the sun because he spoke Korean during the Japanese occupation, and of seeing the man who killed his father every day after the war ended.  He said forgiveness was the only option.

Dear friends,

Wanted you to know that Rev. Dr. Kang Byoung Hoon at the age of 91 has been diagnosed with stage four small cell brain cancer and has just been entered into hospice in Seoul, Korea.

The attached photo is of Rev. Dr. Kang Hye Kyung (Rev. Kang's daughter), Rev. Kang Byoung Hoon, me, and my son Benjamin during one of Rev. Kang's visits to the US.

Grateful for Rev. Kang Byoung Hoon's powerful, inspiring leadership in the OE/EI/ICA and in the Korean Methodist Church, for the gift of living and working with the Kang family in the Seoul Religious House, and for staying in touch all these years both in trips to Korea and in the US.

Blessings to the Kang family,

Rob
