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.

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.

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,

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.
