Sang Chul Lee : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sang Chul Lee
Sang Chul Lee (born 1924) was the 32nd Moderator of the United Church of Canada and the first person of Asian descent to hold the position. He was elected by the 32nd General Council of the United Church of Canada at their meeting in Victoria, British Columbia. He is married and has three daughters. == Early life == Lee was born in 1924 to Korean parents in Siberia during the reign of Joseph Stalin. At the age of seven, his family moved to Japanese-occupied Manchuria. As a young adult, Lee moved once again to South Korea where, against the wishes of his parents - who were devout Shamans - he converted to Christianity. Lee saw Christianity as a way to cope with the brutality he had experienced in both Manchuria and Korea and was particularly enthralled with the Exodus story of Moses and the Israelites. The United Church of Canada had inherited overseas missions in Asia from their founding denominations, who established the Korean mission in 1893. The United Church maintained this mission after church union in 1925 and it blossomed into a vital and growing community of faith. This was how Lee became exposed to Christianity and he was ordained as a minister of the United Church of Canada in 1954, remaining in Korea to serve their overseas mission there.〔
