Re-envisioning the Christian Mission between the Two Koreas Beyond the Construct of ‘Self’ and ‘Other’

Since a ceasefire between the two Koreas was declared without an ensuing peace accord, the war has been both physically and psychologically prolonged for more than fifty years in the Korean Peninsula. Even though an armistice was signed, there has been no peace treaty or other final agreement between the two Koreas. Hence, the war has never ended in the Korean Peninsula. Recently, the tension between North and South Korea has even more escalated, as Pyongyang threatened to shut down the Kaesong Industrial Park run jointly by the two countries.1 This threat came after North Korea had announced that it is in “state of war” with South Korea.
