The Korean Presbyterian Church Abroad (KPCA) has reaffirmed its stance against the ordination of LGBTQ individuals and the officiation of same-sex marriages during its 49th General Assembly held at Yeondong Church in Seoul on May 7–8. The guidance addresses various pastoral situations including the registration of LGBTQ members, use of church facilities for weddings, officiating same-sex ceremonies, and ministering to youth. The document encourages pastors to maintain both clarity in doctrinal teaching and kindness in personal interaction. Proposal to Extend Retirement Age RejectedAlso discussed during the assembly was a proposal to raise the mandatory retirement age for ordained church officers from 70 to 75. The KPCA’s decisions underscore its intention to stay rooted in traditional theological interpretations while navigating an evolving cultural landscape, particularly in relation to its partnerships with larger denominations like PCUSA.
