At the meeting, CLF leaders -- including Pastor Park Yeong-kook from the Christian Leaders Fellowship(CLF), Pastor Kiseve Arthur Kitonga, president of the Association of Evengelicals in Africa (Eastern Region), and Godfridah Nsenduluka Sumaili, Zambian minister of national guidance and religious affairs -- declared “going back to the Bible” was their ultimate goal. “I am sure that Christianity will get better when we are united and harmonized, even if our religious body and denominations are different,” said Pastor Park Ock-soo. He noted that Korean Christianity is not as glorious as it was in the past, highlighting the need for great leadership.
“If Korean churches are united and harmonized, many people will be able to live happy lives together,” he added.
