[Episcopal News Service] "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
With those opening words of her
sermon, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori set the tone for the five-day forum of the worldwide Anglican peace conference, Towards Peace In Korea (TOPIK), which started November 16 in Seoul, South Korea.

"We have gathered here to do just that, and to work at tearing down the barriers between us that make enemies," Jefferts Schori told those gathered for TOPIK's Opening Eucharist. "We are here to practice peace-making, to un-learn our ability to make war, to shape communities that seek peace and harmony rather than division."
