Inside Ch'ŏndogyo
ROK Drop takes us to an inside look at Cheondoism, one of Korea's XXth Century native religions, whose "majestic temple was built in an Art Nouveau style with a baroque roof and a multi-layered front portal reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral" — Central Temple of Cheondogyo. In my fourteen years in country, I've met but one adherent of this religion.

Like the Druids before them, they look ready for the transition to the Faith, if the outward sign of the temple is any indication.
It is a nice building.
