I thought this did not happen in Europe, but in Absurdistan. There are so many things strange and wrong here that you don't even know where to start listing them. If you look at the pictures, those who prayed and laid their hands on the "pastors" were only UBFers, and all of this happened as part of the UBF directors conference. At least two of them were called pastors in UBF for many years already. And Peter Chang acted as chapter leader already for many years, too, why does he now suddenly need to be a pastor? His qualification hasn't changed either. In the last years he was mainly occupied with "business mission", not with theological studies or anything. Everything is so wrong about UBF on every scale. I think somebody has called this "fractal wrongness." I also see some parallels in the constant self-celebration of UBF Korean leaders and the other "famous" Korean cult leader (here).
