I would like to express my gratitude to every member Raphael Clinic of the Raphael family and our sponsors, who have been passionately devoted to Raphael’s growth. Raphael Clinic, which provides free medical treatment to immigrant workers, has made continuous progress in quality of medical services. In 2017 alone, Raphael Clinic was able to treat 17 thousand patients. On Sundays, Raphael Center in Seongbuk-dong offers free medical care in 18 clinical departments, while opening its dental clinic on Wednesdays and Saturdays. A special clinic that deals with patients’ chronic diseases is also being operated. At our Dongducheon branch, which is mainly focused on treating African laborers, we are attempting different approaches to clinical departments, such as running a mobile clinic and an Oriental Medicine clinic. Around 1,300 patients, who required medical examinations and operations that Raphael could not perform firsthand, were able to be treated and regain their health at our affiliated hospitals. Support for Daejeon Mobile Clinic and Mokpo Free Clinic Center for local multicultural families and immigrant workers has been continued until the local community was capable of independent operation. There are additional needs from areas like Pocheon, Jincheon, and Busan, so we look forward to future improvements. Raphael Clinic will further expand permanent medical centers and ceaselessly work to provide medical support to our own brothers and sisters in North Korea. Starting from Mongolia ten years ago, Raphael International has pursued international activities in Myanmar, Raphael Nepal, and Philippines. International In Mongolia, Raphael International is providing on-site seminars on endocrinology, rehabilitation medicine, and nephrology. The project on organ transplantation has been implemented for the past 4 years, and we are in the process of building an organ transplantation model. The CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Project has established an independent and sustainable system in which the best medical professionals in Mongolia educate medical staff from primary and secondary hospitals. Furthermore, the Mongolian medical staff, who attended Raphael’s fellowship program, have organized volunteer groups to provide medical services to low- income families in their local area and are carrying on Raphael’s philanthropic efforts. Based on the successful self-reliant model we have seen in Mongolia, Raphael International has started supporting Myanmar from 2015. In Myanmar, our assistance is mainly focused on organ transplantation, fellowship program, on-site joint surgeries and educational seminars. Our Smart Mobile Clinic project and cervical cancer screening project for women in Bago Region are also ongoing actively. In Nepal, Raphael International is operating medical camps, constructing chimneys to prevent respiratory diseases, and assisting pediatric heart disease surgery. Lastly, in the Philippines, we provide free clinics and health education for teenagers and local residents. Raphael Nanum Foundation was established to reinforce the active and sustainable support of our domestic and Raphael Nanum international operations. This year, the foundation has supported Raphael’s domestic and international projects Foundation such as Myanmar’s organ transplantation capacity building project. Moreover, we are in the process of planning and coming up with various programs for Raphael Center, which would allow the latter to become a place where volunteers can respect human life and become a companion of love and sharing. We would like to thank our volunteers and supporters for their warm hearted support for Raphael. We will do our utmost to continue our medical services and reach out to those in need. We ask for your everlasting love and support. Thank you.

I believe that only thanks to the immeasurable love you have shown were we able to build this mature society where people from different backgrounds can coexist harmoniously. South Korea made great strides over the decades, evolving from a developing country into a donor country. I am very proud of Raphael for taking on the responsibility to return the help we have received in our past back to our suffering neighbors abroad. Currently, there are about 2 million foreigners living in Korea. Although the United Nations designated the ‘International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination’ 50 years ago, discrimination towards immigrant workers in Korea is still rampant. Raphael Clinic has worked hard, even on holidays, to become a family for immigrant laborers who are working day and night for their own families at home and for Korea’s economy. All of us, including our fellow immigrant workers, are precious, worthy human beings. We were all created by God and are loved by Him. Even if immigrant workers are not treated well here, they are still someone’s precious son, daughter, father, or mother. Everyone needs to rely on God in order to maintain their cherished individual selves within the paths of life each of us are walking. Believing in God will give us power to preserve what is precious to us. Once again, I am very thankful to every member of the medical

  • Christianity, the Cold War, and the Construction of the Republic of Korea
    Korea Journal, vol. 60, no. 4 (winter 2020): 5–29. doi: 10.25024/kj.2020.60.4.5 © The Academy of Korean Studies, 2020 On This Topic Christianity, the Cold War, and the Construction of the Republic of Korea Henry EM Adopted in 1988 by the National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK), the “Declaration of the Churches of Korea on National Unification and Peace” began with praise and thanks to God for the gospel of Christ. Then, in a section with the heading “Confession of Sins Regarding Division and Hatred,” the authors delivered their central message. The Protestant denominations affiliated with the NCCK confessed “that the deep and long-held hatred and enmity toward the other side, within the structure of [national] division, was a sin.” Unprecedented in the history of Christianity in South Korea, representatives of mainline Protestant denominations cast South Korea’s anti-communist ideology as akin to religious idolatry, repudiated hatred and enmity toward North Korea as sinful, and characterized the division of Korea in 1945 as “the sinful fruit of the present Henry EM is associate professor of Asian Studies at Underwood International College, Yonsei University.

  • The Changing Nature of the Korean People's Perspective on National
    The Changing Nature of the Korean People’s Perspective on National Issues, and Fellow Koreans Living Abroad Lee Junsik This paper intends to examine the relationship between Korean people’s per- spective upon the national issues today and the problem of ethnic Koreans over- seas, especially the “Joseon-jok” (people of Korean descent) living in China, with regard to enactment and amendment processes of the Law for Ethnic Koreans. The Law for Ethnic Koreans prior to the recent amendment bears spe- cial meaning as it was the law that “officiated” the government’s discriminatory treatment upon specific groups among the ethnic Korean society. How could such significantly flawed bill have been enacted? It must have been made possi- ble because of the misunderstanding regarding issues on ethnic Koreans over- seas (especially the issue of China-based ethnic Koreans) that the Korean public has been carrying for a long time. There is a particular perspective within the Korean society of the concept of a single ethnic group, the concept of a single culture, and the concept of a single state to be the same. This kind of specific consciousness regarding the people’s own sense of being members of a single ethnic group makes the people more sensitive of the “difference” between “us” and “them.” When other factors such as the scale of the state are added to the equation, the people tend to separate even their own overseas brethrens from themselves and take them out of the boundary of “us.” The ethnic Koreans living in China are being perceived dif- ferently and ultimately excluded from the Korean ethnic group because they live in China.
