Chriatians in Korea have shown ambivalence to the unforeseen event. Many have commended such growth of Korean Christian involvement in the world, but projected expenses have become a burden to WCC and KNCC members.
WCC consists of 150 members for the central commitee, and 24 members for the Executive commitee; 40 members anticipate attendance for the upcoming Executive Commitee meeting in Korea.
