Howdy! Many years to you and your family.

Slightly off-topic, but there's a Korean Presbyterian church up the road from me. Are Presbyterians common in S. Korea?

Yup. And Methodists. A Korean teacher I knew told me that after the Korean War, many Koreans in the south became Christian, following the predominate forms followed by American soldiers. There may also have been remnants of Protestant missions to the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

O Master Lord our God...who are wondrous in glory; who keeps his covenant and his mercy to them who love him with all their heart; who has given us redemption...through his only-begotten son, Jesus Christ...the life of everyone, the help of those who flee to him, the hope of those who cry to him.
