A forum hosted by South Korean Evangelical leaders this week renewed criticism of the upcoming World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) General Assembly in Seoul, which has faced controversy since its announcement. Speakers at the event accused the WEA of theological compromise, interfaith inclusivism, and straying from historic Evangelical and Reformed principles.

The Christian Council of Korea (CCK), the former national member body of the World Evangelical Alliance in Korea led by Rev. Kyung-hwan Ko, hosted its first “WEA Countermeasure Forum” on April 29 at Grace Hall in the Christian Council Building in Seoul. Titled “Problems with the WEA from Theological, Practical, and Historical Perspectives,” the event featured presentations by Dr. Jin-young Yang (Kwangshin University), Dr. Chang-won Seo (formerly of Chongshin Seminary), and Dr. Ho-wook Kim (Kwangshin University).
