What follows is a reflection from Andrea Williams of Christian Concern on what God has reminded her of about Britain through her time spent in South Korea during late March.
‘Travelling the length and breadth of the country, speaking to political leaders, hundreds of church pastors and thousands of others, the warmth of the welcome here by God’s people and their hunger and openness to the message brought to them is one rarely experienced in Britain. There has been no feeling of constraint, or a compulsion to build some kind of rational apologetic before launching into the proclamation of God’s purpose and plan for his people.
Britain highly esteemed
‘South Korea is a country which holds Britain in high esteem. The Koreans recognise that they owe their faith and the flourishing of their nation to the British missionaries who brought the gospel to them. They gasp in horror at what Britain has become. In South Korea, abortion is illegal; divorce is rare; civil partnerships are not recognised and Jesus is in the public discourse. They want to be a holy and happy people.
