PAKISTAN: Peace Center Planned

Source: The Christian Post, February 14, 2014

A group of Korean Christians are planning to build a “peace center” for a Christian community in Pakistan that was hit by a terrorist attack last year.

Last month, a delegation of Korean church leaders visited the Anglican Diocese of Peshawar at the request of Bishop Humphrey Peters. During the visitation, the delegation, which included Dr. Myoung Hyuk Kim, chairman of the Korean Evangelical Fellowship, and the Rev. Dong-Hwi Lee, senior pastor of the Tin Church, announced plans for a peace center.

When completed, the planned facility will include a library and conference hall and be accessible to all people regardless of religious belief, according to Episcopal News Service.

“The project was revealed in the Diocese of Peshawar’s newsletter The Frontier News,” noted ENS, adding that it was being done “in the memory of the martyrs of the All Saints’ Church Peshawar.”
