Church pro-life activists in Korea have gathered to discuss how to better convey their message on the sanctity of life to a broader section of society. The Catholic Bishops' Conference held its fifth pro-life movement coordinators training program on March 12-13 in Kkottongnae (flower village). Church anti-abortion and anti-euthanasia campaigns at parish and diocesan level have not been looked upon favorably by non-Catholics. Coordinators need to convey in a positive way the importance of life, the gathering of around 70 coordinators heard. John Bosco Yun Kyung-jung, life movement manager of the One-Body One-Sprit Movement said, “A lot of small Christian communities which practice the culture of life need to be established in parishes. It’s important to create an environment where the faithful can get the life movement’s message across.” The training has been held every year since 2006.

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
