At 5 p.m. on August 6, 1970, in the council room of the Korean Religious Conference (which consists of Christianity, Roman Catholic, Buddhism, Won-Buddhism, Daejongkyo, Chundokyo and The Holy Spirit Association for Unification of World Christianity, and Confucianism), there was a brief installation ceremony of its Presidency. Present were all the delegates and directors from each sect with Father Yang Oon Park (Director, Institute for Ecumenical and Inter-religious Studies) in the chair.

In accepting the appointment, President Lee, Chairman of The Executive Board Choge-Jong (a Buddhist), made an appeal to grope for fusion, standing above exclusivism and getting together frequently for the sake of a new spiritual guidepost.

President Lee who has succeeded priest Wol San Choi, is to take his office from the remaining term of the predecessor until February, 1971.
