Some local governments have announced that there are Shincheonji members remaining out of contact. We would like to explain some cases in this regard.

Some congregants are classified and reported as “out of contact” for the following reasons: 1) contact information in the church register is not updated (wrong contact information), 2) the line is busy, 3) the person is on an overseas business trip, 4) the health center calls the wrong phone number, 5) in case the address in the church register and the actual place of residence are different, health centers of two or more jurisdictions contact the person, but this information is not shared between the health centers.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus has issued 25 formal notices to urge its congregation members to cooperate with the public health authorities, and the church is checking the condition of the members with a 24-hour emergency system.

However, there are clearly limits. Shincheonji is a church for faith and worship; it is not an organization for collecting personal information. Upon entering the church, each member’s address and phone number at the time are registered in the church register, and the update frequency is irregular. In case a member moves to a new place or changes his or her phone number, the church cannot know unless it is notified, and such changes are not updated in the church register in real time. This would be the same for any religious group or company.

Also, a church is a gathering of various individuals. Among the congregation, there are members who have not attended service for a long time, who are on overseas or regional business trips, whose phone numbers have changed, and who are not answering calls from the church.

However, Shincheonji Church of Jesus promises to overcome these limitations and make every possible effort to fight COVID-19 for the health and safety of congregants, communities, and citizens.

In China, the new Religious Affairs Regulations went into effect in early 2018, applying stringent rules to regulate religious practices. As a result of such regulations, all Shincheonji churches in China were closed in 2018. Equally, Wuhan Church closed down all church spaces on 15 June 2018 and has since taken all meetings and services online and operates them autonomously.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus acknowledges a group as a 'church' when the number congregation exceeds 120. Church members in Wuhan reached 120 in 2018, and the church recognized the area as Wuhan Church on 1 January 2019, however, without any physical church building. Church records show that there are 357 members in Wuhan. Wuhan Church is a branch of James Tribe in Busan and is not related to Daegu Church, which is under Thaddeus Tribe, and according to records, none went to service there during January and February.
