Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, head of the Episcopal Church, is in South Korea to participate in a 5-day forum of the worldwide Anglican peace conference.

The conference, which began November 14 with a three-day peace trip to Geumgangsan in North Korea (story to follow), stems from a 2005 Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) resolution calling for peace, reconciliation and reunification of this Asian peninsula, says ENS.

Says KJS: “This gathering can be a witness to that possibility. Wherever people begin to look for the image of God in people they would rather see as enemy, Zion emerges from the mist, and the nations begin to stream toward that holy mountain.”
