The Shincheonji Church of Jesus announced on December 6 that the “3rd International Invitation Revelation Lecture Series,” held from October 30 to November 2, successfully concluded as the largest and most diverse gathering of its kind in history, drawing over 1,000 participants including 440 religious leaders from 59 countries.
Under the theme “The Path of Understanding Guided by the Bible, The Path of Peace Walked Together by Religions,” the four-day program featured in-depth lectures on the prophecies and fulfilled realities of the Book of Revelation, united prayer meetings for global peace, cultural exchanges, and open round-table discussions.
Participants from Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Confucianism and other traditions repeatedly described the atmosphere as “unprecedentedly free and warm,” with many moved to tears during shared worship and laughter during joint activities.
“It was my first time experiencing such free and warm exchanges. I felt true peace within the truth,” one attending religious leader confessed.
Buddhist leader Yulryeo Seongwon, Chairman of the Korean Buddhist Jogye Order, praised the series, stating, “Shincheonji is thriving because of the power of the Word. This Word transcends religious barriers and paves the way for humanity to unite.”
Islamic leader Mohammed Usman of Eswatini called Shincheonji’s curriculum “perfect for conveying peace and truth.”
The event concluded with a “World Religious Leaders Revelation Quiz Competition” in which 154 of 317 participants from 60 countries achieved perfect scores. Additionally, 125 individuals (42 Korean, 83 overseas) who completed a rigorous seven-week training course were appointed honorary Bible teachers.
A highlight was the testimony of Sok Buntun, Director of Higher Buddhist Education at Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture and Religion. After attending the 2nd lecture series, he hosted Revelation lectures at local Buddhist temples, growing attendance from 120 to 850 leaders and securing 215 signed commitments to religious peace.
At the closing ceremony held at the Shincheonji Peace Training Center, more than 440 religious leaders and 1,000 social figures stood together and shouted “one” in unity, then read aloud a joint resolution pledging to fulfill their mission of spreading truth and peace.
Shincheonji Chairman Lee Man-hee urged all leaders to “uphold the original values of truth and peace” and, through continued dialogue, achieve “God’s hope and humanity’s hope—peace.”
Since its launch in February 2024, the International Invitation Revelation Lecture Series has grown rapidly: the first session hosted leaders from 28 countries, the second from 57, and the third—the largest ever—from 59 nations, solidifying its position as a leading global platform for inter-religious understanding and harmony.
