She has been involved in activities for peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula since the 1990s, and now is sharing accounts of that work with congregations and other groups in the United States as one of the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program’s 15 International Peacemakers in September and October. The Rev. Lee will share the story of the Korean ecumenical and Christian women’s movements opposing the U.S.-supported South Korean dictatorship and developing relationships with our North Korean partners the Korean Christian Federation, that promote reconciliation and peaceful resolution of the Korean War.
