On December 10, 2010, The Korea Society hosted a panel discussion
at the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta on the missionary
experience in Korea. James T. Laney, former US ambassador to South
Korea, led the panel, which included Donald Clark, professor of
history at Trinity University, who gave an overview of the history
of Christianity in Korea; William Brown, a son and grandson of
Christan missionaries to Korea and China, who shared accounts
written by missionaries in his family; and the Reverend George
Wirth, senior pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta,
who suggested that American Christians have much to learn from
Korean Presbyterians about church growth, management, and
missionary work. The program was part of The Korea Society’s Korea
Days regional outreach program in Atlanta, Georgia.
