SEOUL, South Korea,
Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 100,000
students will participate in the world's largest graduation on
November 10th from the
theology program of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the
Tabernacle of Testimony.
In addition to the 100,000 graduates in South Korea, graduations will be held
simultaneously around the world from school locations in
the United States including
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., as well as in South and
Central America in countries like
Guatemala, Mexico, Argentina and El
Salvador.
This graduation is the largest graduation from a single
denomination worldwide. Adding the combined total number of
graduates together would equal 100 churches of 1,000 members each.
It marks a historical triumph for theological studies especially
when seminary education enrollment has declined for the past decade
according to a study conducted by the Association of Theology
Schools.
Shincheonji's theology program is open to students wishing to
study the Bible and the prophecies from the book of Revelation,
free of cost. The 6-month program consists of beginning,
intermediate and advanced content and all students must take a test
in order to graduate.
Despite criticism Shincheonji has received, such as allegations
that students are coerced to learn, graduates say that the reality
they've witnessed is completely different.
"I have been studying the Bible for the past six months to see
if any of the criticisms against Shincheonji are true, but anyone
can study the Bible according to their free-will. If you do not
want to study the Bible, you can stop studying at any time," said
graduate Sara Sanchez.
The growth of Shincheonji is expected to grow exponentially
after the graduation. With the evangelism rate of graduates over
100%, currently 200,000 more students are enrolled in the theology
program. At this pace, Shincheonji is expected to exceed 1 million
people in three years—marking an unprecedented religious
breakthrough.
