Quo vadis Korea?

30. April 2018
Die Bilder gingen am Freitag um die Welt – Nordkoreas Staatschef Kim Jong-Un
überschreitet Hand in Hand mit Südkoreas Staatschef Moon Jae-In die Demarkationslinie
und sagt dann auch noch öffentlich zu, das Atomtestgelände im Norden des Landes zu
schließen. Aber wie sind diese Bilder und Nachrichten zu werten? Rainer Werning hat
für die NachDenkSeiten die Kontexte, Texte und Subtexte zum historischen Gipfeltreffen
der Staatschefs von Korea Nord und Korea Süd in Panmunjom zusammengefasst.
Und uns die Abdruckerlaubnis gegeben.

2018: NCCK and the Panmunjeom Declaration
National Council of Churches in Korea
“Panmunjeom Declaration”: the beginning of a new history of reconciliation and peace
Today we are deeply moved by the step made towards a new history of reconciliation and peace on the Korean peninsula. The summit which started with the two leaders of Korea crossing the military demarcation line (MDL) has deeply moved the heart of all Koreans and the people in the world.
Having recognized the absurdity and pain brought forth by separation, for more than 50 years the NCCK has worked for the reconciliation and peace of Korea while praying without ceasing. Therefore, the NCCK welcomes the historical Declaration pronounced by the two Korean leaders at the Panmunjom Peace House on April 27, and we show a great respect to the two leaders who eventually worked out the Declaration.
The NCCK respects the agreed promises in the Declaration

Suggested prayer for peace:“Lord, through the North-South summit meetings,
Let there be a peace settlement,
And please help us to realize lively civilian exchanges between South and North.
Lord, through the North-South summit meetings,
Bring reconciliation and peace to this land,
And please open up an era of peaceful coexistence on the Korean peninsula.
Lord, through peace on the Korean peninsula,
Help us to realize peace all over this world.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.”
