At Pokrov, theologians and pastoral leaders converged theologians, scholars, and pastoral leaders from across the globe to explore deep theological questions born from real-world spiritual struggles.

The focal theme of this conference was the mystery of God’s nearness amid pain and instability.

Speakers wove together perspectives from scriptural traditions, modern upheavals, and intimate trials of faith.

A consistent theme emerged: the conviction that God is not distant in hardship but is actively present in the quiet moments of resilience and compassion.

Several presenters underscored listening as as a theological practice not only as interpersonal skill but as a way of encountering the sacred.

The conference also revisited the role of liturgy and ritual as anchors for communal hope especially in cultures where institutional trust has eroded.

Attendees noted that traditional prayers and sacramental gestures retain their power to heal and connect even when doctrinal frameworks feel strained.

A profound discussion centered on the sacredness of the stranger and the displaced connecting the journey of the Holy Family to the plight of displaced families today.

The consensus was that the church must become a space of radical welcome not as an ideological position but as a theological imperative grounded in the incarnation.

The closing reflections urged participants to carry these insights beyond the conference walls to the pews, the neighborhoods, and the margins.

The enduring truth declared was: faithful reflection is not mere intellectualism but a sacred exchange between the Creator site (carecall.co.kr) and the created that demands both courage and humility.
