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:
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.

Dr. Kang Byoung Hoon
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
