The Pokrov Conference brought together faith leaders, biblical scholars, and spiritual guides from every continent to explore deep theological questions rooted in the lived experience of faith.

Participants gathered around the theme of divine presence in times of suffering and uncertainty.

Speakers wove together perspectives from the wisdom of the Church Fathers, current global displacement, and site (ela.or.kr) individual paths of perseverance.

A consistent theme emerged: the conviction that the Divine does not abandon us in suffering but is actively present in the quiet moments of resilience and compassion.

Many speakers emphasized the importance of listening as a theological practice not merely as an act of empathy but as a way of encountering the sacred.

The conference also revisited the role of liturgy and ritual as enduring symbols of shared faith especially in cultures where institutional trust has eroded.

Attendees noted that ancient forms of worship and sacred rites retain their power to heal and connect even when doctrinal frameworks feel strained.

One unforgettable segment delved into the sacredness of the stranger and the displaced drawing parallels between biblical narratives and today’s refugee experiences.

The collective conviction emerged that the Christian community is called to embody radical hospitality not merely as social activism but as a theological imperative grounded in the incarnation.

The closing reflections urged participants to live out these revelations in their local contexts among the faithful, the forgotten, and the fractured.

The final call echoed: faithful reflection is not mere intellectualism but a living dialogue between God and humanity that demands both courage and humility.
