GRAHAMSVILLE & SUNDOWN CHURCH HISTORY

"...Channing Liem came to the U.S. in 1930, attending Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. He met his wife Popai Lee Liem during his studies at the New York City Biblical Seminary, became a minister, and in the early 1960’s served as South Korean ambassador to the United Nations during the Chang Myon administration."

“My grandfather originally came to petition the U.S. government to support Korea’s independence, but his perspective on the role of the U.S. started to shift at the end of World War II when the U.S. and U.S.S.R partitioned Korea, and he became a reunification activist,” said Liem. “He was a leader for Korean Americans doing Korea work—all around great guy…an incredible guy.”
