Thank you. ;) We should also note the indigenous rise of Cheonjugyo, which paved the way for Catholicism before the arrival of Protestant missionaries.

(ill humour, but factual. There was even a Jesuit chaplain to their army.) I am neither particularly relgious nor Christian, but I have been impressed by the quality of Western missionaries who came to Korea in the late 19th and early 20th Century. Beyond degrees in divinity, many had really useful degrees (medicine, etc) from bona fide universities (Yale, Harvard, Cornell, etc). They were among the first Westerners to learn the Korean language, and laid the basis for Korean studies. The institutions they founded will be here long after Kim Il-sung's statues have crumbled.

Samuel Moffett, who was bron in Pyeongyang when he was 16"</i> I think there is a typo and a factual error that make the sentence unclear. According to the article, Rev. Moffett was born in Pyeongyang in the year 1916. “with an interview with Rev. Samuel Moffett, who was bron in Pyeongyang when he was 16″
