We’ve done some work on the website theme– there’s one or two major changes to the look, though there’s a lot different under the hood.   Come check it out.   If it breaks for you, let me know.

Senior pastor Cho Yong-gi of Yoido Full Gospel Church, the largest Christian church in the world, has faced vicious public condemnation as he called the catastrophic Japanese quakes and tsunamis “God’s warnings.” “I fear that this disaster may be warnings from God against the Japanese people’s atheism and materialism,” an […]
