This is the 2016 Joint Prayer in English, as provided by the National Council of Churches in Korea and the Korean Christian Federation
A prayer for peace and reunification prepared by the National Council of Churches in Korea and the Korean Christian Federation on the occasion of the 100th year of Japanese annexation of Korea, 65th year of the Liberation and the Division, and 60th year of the Korean War.
The Korean Armistice, which called for a peace process and the withdrawl of all foreign forces from the Korean peninsula temporarily stopped the raging war in Korea in 1953; however, more than six decades later no peace treaty or agreement has replaced the Armistice Agreement. This document was prepared by a coalition of U.S. groups working for peace and reconciliation in Korea for the 2013 Peace Weekend in Washington, D.C.
The National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK) has released resources for partners to use in prayer and worship around the anniversary of August 15th, 1945, liberation from Japanese Occupation and the beginning of division on the Korean continent. The below resource includes liturgy for Sunday, August 13, and a narrative recounting the experience of Dr. David Suh, a man who eventually chose forgiveness over hatred.
