The Pokrov Gathering assembled theological thinkers, academic researchers, and church practitioners from diverse cultural and ecclesial traditions to engage in theological reflection on pressing human realities born from real-world spiritual struggles.

The focal theme of this conference was how the Sacred Dwells When All Seems Lost.

Speakers wove together perspectives from ancient texts, contemporary crises, and personal journeys of spiritual endurance.

Many came to agree that the Divine does not abandon us in suffering but dwells in the stillness where courage and site (carecall.co.kr) kindness take root.

A dominant message was the sacredness of silence as a form of worship not only as interpersonal skill but as the posture that opens us to divine revelation.

The conference also revisited the role of liturgy and ritual as anchors for communal hope in contexts where organized religion is viewed with skepticism.

It was widely acknowledged that time-honored liturgies and symbolic actions retain their power to heal and connect when creeds no longer comfort.

A particularly moving session explored the theology of exile and displacement drawing parallels between biblical narratives and today’s refugee experiences.

The collective conviction emerged that the Body of Christ must be a sanctuary for the outcast not merely as social activism but as the unavoidable expression of God’s self-revelation in Christ.

The conference concluded by challenging all to carry these insights beyond the conference walls to the pews, the neighborhoods, and the margins.

The final call echoed: faithful reflection is not mere intellectualism but an ongoing conversation with the Divine that requires vulnerability and unwavering trust.
