International Ecumenical Consultation Communique

On June 3, a new government was inaugurated in South Korea, pledging to achieve social integration and great social transformation. At this historical juncture, over 80 theologians, clergy, women and youth leaders from Asia, North America, and Europe who have dedicated themselves to justice, peace, unity and solidarity, gathered at St. Bede(Daehakro) Church, Anglican Church of Korea in Seoul from June 30 to July 1 under the theme “Far-Right Extremism and the Response of the Global Church.” We reaffirmed that the immense crisis faced by Korean society is by no means an exceptional situation. Rather, we paid particular attention to the fact that the global rise of far-right extremism makes Korea's example of overcoming crisis all the more exceptional.
