International News: United Church of Canada launches Korea Peace Appeal

The church is inviting all who seek an end to war and a future of peace in Korea to join with Korean partners to sign the appeal.

The global campaign calls for a peace treaty that would bring a formal end to the Korean War. The campaign, supported by some 370 civil society organizations in Korea and beyond, seeks to collect 100 million signatures by 2023.

The National Council of Churches (USA) has challenged the United Church of Canada to join them in support of the Korea Peace Appeal by adding 10,000 signatures to the online petition by this summer.
