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.

Thanks for letting us know, Rob. Rev. Kang Byoon Hoon has been such a powerful presence in our lives and the church in Korea. I remember how he broke through the appearance of piety of clergy during an International Training Institute. I think the last time I saw him was in 1975, but I can still hear his voice. Would he appreciate emails? Ronnie Ronnie Seagren On Fri, Mar 15, 2024 at 10:37 AM Bill Schlesinger via Dialogue < dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Dr. Kang Byoung Hoon Ahhhh I’m so touched seeing his face again. We spent many years in Korea and in his presence. For sure he and his wife probably saved our lives. They came to meet us not long after we arrived one late fall sunny day and discovered a crack in our bedroom floor. Anyone who was in Korea in those days remembers heating the floors with coal bricks underneath. Unknown to us they emit deadly carbon dioxide. Rev Kang and his wife spent the afternoon repairing our floor and welcoming us to Korea.

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. Marilyn Crocker

Dr. Kang Byoung Hoon 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.

Thanks for sharing, Rob. Great picture. I know all those people. Some of us were together in EG and the others in House Church. Sending lots of healing love for all. May peace abound. Phyllis On 3/15/2024 7:00 AM, Robertson Work via Dialogue wrote:
