A million Christians gather in South Korea worship event

Sam Ko

On Reformation Sunday, 27 October, about 1.1 million South Korean Christians gathered outside Seoul City Hall (another 1 million Christians joined online) to worship and advocate for Christian values.

The event, marking the 107th anniversary of the Reformation, served as both an outdoor worship service and a demonstration against proposed anti-discrimination legislation, which includes protections for same-sex relationships. The Christian community in South Korea has expressed strong support for traditional family values and voiced concerns over the potential impact of the legislation.
