The family of Syngman Rhee have requested prayers following his hospitalization due to an aggressive cancer.
Rhee currently serves on the board of the Outlook. He is former moderator of the 212th General Assembly (2000) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), president (1992-1993) of the National Council of Churches, and director of the Asian-American Ministry and Mission Center (1998-2011) at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. Currently, he is the distinguished visiting professor for global leadership development at Columbia Theological Seminary.
In 2010, the Outlook presented Rhee with the E.T. Thompson award and in 2013, former Outlook editor Jack Haberer traveled with Rhee to Korea for the 10th Assembly of the World Council of Churches.
The family plans to post updates on Rhee’s health on their blog page: syngmanrhee.webs.com
