Israeli President Reuven Rivlin thanked South Korean Christians for “praying for the peace of Jerusalem” and invited them all to the holy city during his visit to Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, Wednesday evening. In an unprecedented move, the Jewish leader visited the Christian church, with the world's largest congregation of more than half a million members, to bring “blessings of brotherhood and love” to the crowd who packed the building. “Israel will welcome you with open arms,” Rivlin, who was on a five-day state visit to South Korea, said. “I can promise you that, if you come to see, feel and breathe the holiness of the land, it will open your heart and mind.”
