Welcome to the Korean Newsletter

Welcome to the latest incarnation of the Korean Newsletter website. Feel free to randomly click your way through the site or use the menu on the left to target your browsing. The site has news, views, and sharing of experiences. In fact, this time we have three articles with more personal sharing: one from Mokpo, one about language school in Seoul, and one recalling the Philippines and friends met along the way. We also have a brief word of introduction from our students – found in Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan.

Speaking of further afield, Jimmy Nolan transports us back to China and Mokpo of the 1930s with a story of an Irish man, a Chinese man, and a Korean man! Pat McMullan reflects on suffering, torture, and the crucifixion in his Beyond Good Friday and Pat Cunningham brings us up-to-date on happenings in JPIC. On the news front, we are told of happenings in Gwangju and Jeju. And Michael Riordan also gives brief book reviews of three works he has read recently.  

Thomas Seungwon Nam has indeed been busy both working and reporting about it. He provides four reports, one each from Vocations, Benefactors, Priest Associates, and the Peace Ministry in Korea. Added to this there are some Lay Mission updates, too. There is a word from the Director and more from the archives… 

Enjoy your browsing and if the mood takes you get in contact.
