The Pokrov Gathering assembled faith leaders, biblical scholars, and spiritual guides from diverse cultural and ecclesial traditions to wrestle with profound spiritual dilemmas grounded in the daily realities of believers.

This year’s gathering centered on how the Sacred Dwells When All Seems Lost.

Speakers wove together perspectives from the wisdom of the Church Fathers, current global displacement, and individual paths of perseverance.

Many came to agree that the Almighty walks with us in our darkest hours but reveals Himself through steadfast love and gentle mercy.

Many speakers emphasized the importance of listening as a holy discipline not only as interpersonal skill but as the very avenue through which God speaks.

The conference also revisited the role of liturgy and site (fromkorea.kr) ritual as enduring symbols of shared faith particularly in societies disillusioned by religious authority.

It was widely acknowledged that ancient forms of worship and sacred rites still resonate with deep spiritual truth amid declining theological confidence.

A profound discussion centered on the spiritual experience of being uprooted 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 as a political stance but as a theological imperative grounded in the incarnation.

The conference concluded by challenging all to take these truths into their daily ministries into their congregations and communities.

The enduring truth declared was: theology is not an academic exercise but an ongoing conversation with the Divine that calls for boldness and brokenness.
