The Andrew tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus signed an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) agreement and unveiling ceremony with a church affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of Korea regarding the church sign change.
Pastor Kim, who has served for 10 years, actively participated in Shincheonji Church of Jesus' events, including the Shincheonji Bible Seminar and the 100,000 Graduation Ceremony even before the MOU signing.
Pastor Kim pointed out that “the attitude of slandering Shincheonji Church of Jesus as a cult without knowing the truth about it is itself rather heretical,” and urged the Protestant community to change their attitude. Since March of this year, Pastor Kim has been giving sermons based on Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ lectures on Revelation, and has been running the church by appointing Shincheonji Church of Jesus lecturers as associate pastors.
At the ceremony, Pastor Kim raised his voice, saying, “The Bible clearly states that we should work together for good. But why do churches that believe in the same God work together to do the opposite?” He concluded, “As a pastor, you should be able to point out what is right and what is wrong.”
Shincheonji Church of Jesus maintains that this significant milestone will play a role in changing the paradigm of the domestic Protestant church community.
Meanwhile, as of the end of last month, 747 churches in Korea and 13,127 churches in 84 countries overseas have signed MOUs with Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Moreover, 1671 churches in 43 countries have joined Shincheonji Church of Jesus and changed their signs.
