Topic : Three Religions Held a Charity Bazaar for Children with Incurable Diseases Writer : CBCK Inquiry : 1891 Date : 2002-04-08 13:49:22   Three Religions Held a Charity Bazaar for Children with Incurable Diseases      On October 20, 2001, some Catholics, Buddhists, and Protestants jointly held a charity bazaar to help children afflicted by incurable diseases. This interreligious event was arranged by Catholic Suyu church, Presbyterian Songam church, and Buddhist Hwagye-sa after three-month preparation. With the help of some 300 volunteers, the bazaar was successfully completed and offered a good opportunity to witness the unity and fraternal cooperation between different religions for the suffering people.   Rev. Raymond Lee, Pastor of Suyu 1-dong parish, said "the event was a meaningful opportunity for us to help the afflicted and to realize interreligious unity as well." The proceeds from the bazaar, amounting to USD$ 30,000, will be used for the treatment of children with incurable diseases through the ward government.
