The'reverse guide' written by a pastor in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do has become a hot topic in the online community and is receiving applause.
On the 21st of last month, a photo of the great news was posted online by Taejin Ko, senior pastor of Anseo Church of the Cheonan Christian Methodist Society.
"When the sword comes in saying that if you worship, you will kill, it is faith to risk your life to worship."
Looking at the first sentence alone, it reads as ignoring the government's pleasing appeal to conduct non-face-to-face worship.
But the point was in the next sentence.
"But if the worship service becomes a sword and jeopardizes the lives of neighbors, it is faith that they do not gather."
In addition to this, the announcement added that all meetings were temporarily postponed and switched to home worship.
Despite the recent corona 19 re-proliferation phase, Pastor Tae-jin Ko's writings certainly shined amid the behavior of some churches that are conducting face-to-face worship.
Netizens praised them for saying, "I feel love for my neighbors as well as my belief in worship" and "These people are true believers."

After the article became a hot topic, Pastor Ko confessed, "I am ashamed that I only posted the natural thing in my heart by hand," and said, "It is a pity that the church becomes a concern for society and is a target of hatred."
He then directly persuaded the congregation who opposes the decision to switch face-to-face, and said, "In a crisis, we should not be reduced to society's anxiety, but we should be a receptionist who encourages and encourages them."
