YuMok was founded by women who, in a patriarchal world dominated by men, were unable to exercise their leadership qualities. In 1979 JungAng introduced women’s ordination (cf. no. 41). The first women pastors were ordained in 1983. But they had a difficult time in their church and therefore decided to form a women pastors’ presby within JungAng. Soon they left JungAng and started their own GenAssy, YuMok (moderator: Park Jeong-Ho).A year later they opened a seminary. Park Jeong-Ho unduly dominated both the seminary and the assembly and was dismissed by the assembly in 1987.
