Q&A of Shincheonji church regarding New Coronavirus Disease(COVID-19)
□ Regarding ceremony of foundation day of Shincheonji Church of Jesus
There was no ceremony of foundation day of Shincheonji church this year. There will be no not only foundation day ceremony but also worship services until coronavirus situation is ended. Worship services will replaced online and there are no meetings nor gatherings. In addition, after corona situation ended, church members who did not take the test will not be allowed to join worship service. The relationship between church and church members are like parent and child. From a standpoint of church, nothing is more important than the health and safety of church members.
Therefore, in the situation of many church members suffer from coronavirus, there is no reason for the church to resume worship and gathering. (After 31st patient is infected on 28th of Feb., there is no worship and gathering so far.) On 11th of March, Shincheonji Thaddeus tribe notifies church members ahead of the release of self-isolation of Daegu, Gyeongbuk church members. The notifications are 1. gathering and meetings are prohibited after self-isolation released 2. use of group facilities prohibited 3. active cooperation required with Daegu city, Namgu office and police for residents who is in special management area.
In particular, Shincheonji church said "Do not contact church members who is waiting to be hospitalized. Live a completely separate life. Do not access to closed churches and all related facilities. If church members violate those instructions, the church will take serious disciplinary action." As self-isolated church members are released, the church members will practice strict prohibition of meetings as well as hygiene management and social distance so that the locals do not get anxious. This is a measure to protect our community as well as our church members. We will continue to cooperate with quarantine authorities until Corona19 ends.
