Synod

The first Saturday in June is the annual meeting of the synod of the International Presbyterian Church. We meet in Kingston upon Thames at the Korean Church.
Our moderator is Kim Buk Kyong from Korea, our clerk, Roy Kunar, originally from Guyana. We have two presbyteries, English and Korean. The former has three congregations in England,one in Romania, with church plants progressing in England, France, Belgium, Italy and Azerbaijan. The Koreans have seven congregations in England.
A highlight of the day for many of us is lunch provided by the Korean ladies. This is always a feast. I love the kimchi which is the sine qua non of Korean food. Katy complains that after Korean lunch I ooze garlic from ever pore. Little does she know I was given some kimchi to bring home. It is so far undetected in our freezer.
