NCCK 2026 Prayer for Peace on the Korean Peninsula
Each year, the National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK) shares a common prayer for the Peaceful Reunification of the Korean Peninsula with churches in Korea and around the world. Since the WCC officially designated the Sunday of Prayer for the Peaceful Reunification of the Korean Peninsula at its 10th Assembly in Busan (2013), churches around the world have observed this Sunday and joined in prayer in their own languages.
This year’s prayer calls on us to pray for an end to war and the establishment of a peace treaty, for mutual respect between the two Koreas, and for a future of peaceful coexistence. It also remembers all those suffering from war and violence in Palestine, Ukraine, Myanmar, and many other parts of the world, affirming that peace on the Korean Peninsula is inseparable from the pursuit of just peace for all creation.

The Glion meeting was convened by the World Council of Churches (WCC) from September 2–5, 1986, and brought together representatives from the North Korean Christian Federation (KCF) and South Korean NCCK for the first post-war face-to-face dialogue. Participants shared an emotional joint Eucharist that helped build mutual trust and paved the way toward dialogue, reconciliation, and peace between North and South Korea.
