In February of 1991 4,000 people gathered in Canberra, Australis for the 7th World Assembly of the World Council of Churches. It’s nothing new for members of this apostate group to say things like Dr. Wesley Ariarajah said this year, “I simply cannot believe that there have not been other people [other than Christians] who are familiar with God… My understanding of God’s love is too broad for me to believe that only this narrow segment called the Christian church will be saved… If you are a Christian, you must be open and broad, not narrow and exclusive.” But, this year the WCC had been drawn deeper into Satan’s lie by the OCCULT RITUAL which was initiated by Dr. Chung Hyun-Kyung. Ms. Chung is a Presbyterian minister in Korea and a professor at Ewha Woman’s University in Seoul. The ritual began with a dance she invited the audience to participate in. The sensual dance was a part of the preparation ritual intended to “prepare the way for the spirits.” Next she “invoked the spirits of the dead” burning candles on each side of her while reading the names of departed spirits… Hagar, Uriah, male babies killed by Herod, Joan of Arc, Jewish people killed in the gas chambers, Mahatma Gandhi, Steve Biko, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X and “the spirit of the Liberator, our brother Jesus, tortured and killed on the cross.”

She went on to expound the various aspects of Korean spiritism and said that she equated the demonic goddess Kwan In with the holy spirit. Kwan In is venerated as goddess of compassion and wisdom by East Asian women. They believe this enlightened being can go to Nirvana any time she wants to but does not because of her compassion for all suffering beings. She seeks to enlighten them. When they are enlightened she empowers them to swim to the shore of Nirvana.

Her speech ended with a crude aboriginal dance which I could not in good conscience describe.
