‘A Public Enemy’: Pan-Religious Statement Alarms Extremist Move of the Christian Council of Korea

On December 28, about 50 prominent South Korean religious leaders issued a joint statement declaringthe Presbyterian pastor Rev. Jeon Kwang-hoon as a “public enemy” with sacrilege and criminal activities,as concern and controversy are coming from his hate speeches and anti-government activities.

The event was hosted by the Christian Federation of Anti-Corruption and Sponsored by Pan-Religion Association.In the statement the religious leaders “denounce Rev. Jeon for the sins committing social conflict and division” due to his remarks including “God, if you mess around, I’ll kill you.”, “Islam and homosexuality are diseases,” and “Women say Satan’s words.”

“Tell a young female believer take off her panties and say, ‘I want to sleep with you.’ If she accepts, she is a believer. If she refuses, she is a shit,” said Rev. Jeon in a training program for pastors to explain a way to distinguish a “true” follower of church.

Criticism against Rev. Jeon from the religious world was triggered when he said, “Those who believe Buddhism should go to prison or uninhabited island.” In his inaugural speech as President of the CCK in February, he stated that his major task is to “block homosexuality, Islam and Anti-discrimination law.”

Back in October 2019, calling the South Korean President Moon Jae-In “a son of bixxh”, Rev. Jeon has led an anti-government demonstration and insisted that President Moon is a spy and there are 500,000 followers of North Korea to “drive the country to ruin” by taking it away from the United States. After the event, he added, “Hallelujah. The most pleasant time has come. Time to collect offerings.”

Massimo Introvigne, an Italian sociologist and the director of Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR)as the largest international organization studying new religious movements, noted that “the activities of the CCK and Rev. Jeon Kwang-hoon are causing international concern.In addition to their radical political activities, the CCK and Rev. Jeon are spreading religious intolerance in Korea and abroad through hate speech and discrimination against groups they label as ‘heretic(cult).’”

“Worse, they support violence against members of these groups, such as Shincheonji and others, who are kidnapped and submitted to ’deprogramming,’ an illegal forced conversion program trying to compel them to renounce their faith,” he added.

The rise of Rev. Jeon traces back to his winning the presidential election of the Christian Council of Korea (CCK). Founded in 1989 after a series of control on church under dictatorship, the CCK has represented the majority of Christian (especially Presbyterian) churches of South Korea with millions of members and dozens of denominations.

Under the sponsorship from the military dictatorship since the 1970s, many Korean churches and later the CCK have been the forefront of conservative political activism. The CCK has exerted its influence in elections based on its members, labeled members or denominations not belonging to the CCK as “cults”.

“The growing concern of the CCK and Rev. Junis coming from the question the Constitution of South Korea that mandates the separation of religion and state. Over the political activism the Western media pointed out, Rev. Jeon’s anti-social, anti-religious, and anti-national remarks and behaviors are something to be called a “public enemy,” said Ven. Hyewon, South Korean Representative of World Buddhist Summit.



I'm curious about the reactions of other pastors of CCK in Korea~! My belief(opinion) is that CCK must be closed immediately. I want to root and weed out social evil, CCK (Please, refer to this link 👉 http://www.shincheonji.kr/bv_shincheonjiIssue_5209, then it will be easy to understand.).
