[KS] Re: most Christian city in Asia

[Timsanglee at aol.com]

Below is a quote relevant to our discussion.  It's from Syncretism: The 
Religious Context of Christian Beginnings in Korea (New York: SUNY Press, 2001) by 
David Chung, who died a year or so ago:

"The Protestant church, especially Presbyterianism, grew so rapidly and 
strongly that a prominent visitor [fn. #44] to the provincial capital, P'yongyang, 
is said to have named it a 'Jerusalem.'" (53)

Looking up the footnote #44, I find "John R. Mott."  But that's it!  There's 
no reference to Mott's work, or whether Mott meant a Jerusalem of the East or 
Jerusalem of Korea.  So the hunt continues, albeit narrowed down somewhat, 
unless Chung has thrown us a red herring.

Best,
