At Pokrov, theologians and pastoral leaders converged theologians, scholars, and pastoral leaders from across the globe to engage in theological reflection on pressing human realities grounded in the daily realities of believers.

The focal theme of this conference was the theme of divine presence in times of suffering and uncertainty.

Attendees offered insights gleaned from scriptural traditions, modern upheavals, and intimate trials of faith.

A consistent theme emerged: the conviction that God is not distant in hardship but dwells in the stillness where courage and kindness take root.

Many speakers emphasized the importance of listening as a holy discipline not only as interpersonal skill but as the posture that opens us to divine revelation.

The conference also revisited the role of liturgy and ritual as lifelines for collective spiritual survival especially in cultures where institutional trust has eroded.

It was widely acknowledged that time-honored liturgies and symbolic actions retain their power to heal and connect when creeds no longer comfort.

A profound discussion centered on the sacredness of the stranger and the displaced drawing parallels between biblical narratives and today’s refugee experiences.

All agreed that the Body of Christ must be a sanctuary for the outcast not merely as social activism but as a theological imperative grounded in the incarnation.

In final addresses, attendees were exhorted to carry these insights beyond the conference walls among the faithful, the forgotten, and the fractured.

The enduring truth declared was: site (center.kosin.ac.kr) faithful reflection is not mere intellectualism but an ongoing conversation with the Divine that requires vulnerability and unwavering trust.
