Stained glass, which flowered with Gothic architecture, the climactic era ofMiddle Ages art, conveyed to the faithful theological messages encoded in light, aswell as protecting sacred places from thee elements, made visible the true sun, thatis, the light understood as seen consubstantial with God. The splendid light andbrilliance radiating from the gem-like glass fragments to all intends and purposesmade visible the new Jerusalem on earth. This stained glass with bound formed anexus for the aesthetics and theology of the Middle Ages was to change throughtime and varied ways.Stained glass, overshadowed by painting from the Renaissance till the 18thcentury, came into prominence in the 19th century with the appearance of theEnglish pre-Raphaelite school, the beginnings of art nouveau style, and therestoration of stained glass in French Gothic churches in which Viollet le Ducplayed a central role. Artists such as John Ruskin in the U.K., John la Farge andLouis Comport Tiffany in the U.S. had a great influence on the development of the19th century stained glass, resurrecting stained glass from the lowly status ofcommercial art, and reuniting stained glass decoration with architecture through artnouveau. Due to their efforts, the distinct character of stained glass was restored butits intrinsic religious value in the context of historic church architecture wascompromised.In the 19th century the relation between the church and the artist was not as close as during the Middle Ages or the Renaissance period. Secular artists working withreligious themes had few opportunity to furnish works for churches. Churches, intheir turn, were filled with archaic works following the dictates and styles of the pastand supported academism in religious art. But at the beginning of the 20th century anew wind of reform began to blow through the decadence of church art. As a resultmainly of the reformers in Germany and France, the artists of Europe and the U.S.created stained glass works that reflected the new modern aesthetic and once againrestored the place of stained glass in modern churches through its incorporation intoarchitecture.

본 연구는 예수 그리스도의 공생애에 따른 구원사역에 있어서의 상담자의 모본을 보이신 몇몇 사례를 들어 구원사역의 증거, 구원의 순서 등과 상담 적용 관계를 살펴보고, 또한 지속적이고 체계적으로 한국적 교회사회복지 상황에 적용할 수 있는 예수 그리스도의 상담에 대한 이론적 자료나 실천적 개입방법에 관한 연구의 필요성을 제기하면서 문제 방향 제시적인 그 중요성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 사회복지학 중 교회사회복지, 기독교상담학, 조직신학 중 구원론, 목회학 분야의 문헌 연구를 토대로 하여 성경, 특별히 신약성경의 4복음서의 내용의 일부분을 중심으로 예수 그리스도의 구원사역의 내용과 증거, 적용 원리, 구원의 순서 등을 고찰하였고, 상담자로서의 모본이 되신 예수 그리스도의 자질 요건과 역할, 상담 방법을 살펴보았다. 그리고 4복음서 내용 중 예수 그리스도가 직접 개입한 상담 유형을 제시하면서 그 적용 측면을 교회사회복지 상담 분야와 전인적 관심에 대한 영향과, 구원사역의 완성에 따른 상담자의 모본의 적용의 두 측면으로 나누어 고찰하였다. 상기한 고찰을 통하여 후속 연구를 위한 설계 제안으로 예수 그리스도의 구원사역과 교회사회복지 상담과의 관계의 도식을 제시함으로써 성경에 나타난 예수 그리스도의 상담자의 모본의 교회사회복지의 적용적 가치를 실증적으로 연구할 수 있다는 가설을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate into the meaning of the New Brutalism sensed in the late church buildings of the Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975). St Mark's (1956-64) and St Peter's (1962-66) churches, his grand finale designs, have a unique architectural vocabulary of rough brickwork. The brick treatment is the basis on which Reyner Banham (1966) discussed him concerning the New Brutalism, and the point that this research focuses on. This paper explores the brutalist character of the buildings from two aspects - interpretational level of individual buildings and historical level of a broader view. First, the character of two churches could be interpreted with the phrase of 'play between brutality and sacredness'. The rough surface of brick and mortar in the buildings symbolises brutality and the vault of their chapels' ceiling sacredness. And the two characteristics meet and play on the rough vault surface. Second, in the historical point of view, this paper argues that the buildings made a giant leap for Swedish modern architecture, which had been at a deadlock owing to the compromising attitude of the New Empiricism since 1940s. And the Swedish New Empiricism (or the New Humanism), spread to Britain as "Welfare State architecture" after World War II, brought about reaction of the young British architects such as the Smithsons and became the background that made the new brutalist mood. However, considering that the term of the New Brutalism was first used in Sweden by Hans Asplund, Lewerentz's brutalist late churches - which seemingly had nothing to do with the British nor the Corbusian lineage - are also meaningful in that they confirmed the tendency in its homeland. In conclusion, this paper argues that St Mark's and St Peter's churches with the brutalist characteristics should be regarded as crucial buildings not only in Lewerentz's personal career but also in Swedish and international architectural history.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate Orlando E. Costas' wholistic concept of church growth in order to build a new paradigm of church growth for the future of the Korean Church. His concept was a result of critical reflection for traditional theories of church growth centering around Donald A. McGavran. Whereas he accepts some positive views of those traditional theories, Costas also criticizes some negative contents. Costas' understanding of the church is based on images of the church portrayed in the New Testament. He sees the church as organism, community, and social institution. In his view, the two objectives of the church's call are worship and mission. He understands church growth from a perspective of wholistic mission: while church growth is a natural and imperative result of the wholistic mission of the church, it cannot be an end in itself and is nothing but a sign, a provisional and penultimate goal of God's mission. From a viewpoint of wholistic concept, church growth has complex and multidimensional characteristics that cannot be simply evaluated by some external aspects. The growth of a church should be critically evaluated on the theologically right basis. In this point, qualities and dimensions of growth present some useful insights for overcoming distorted thoughts of church growth and establishing its healthy model. On the one hand, he speaks of spirituality, incarnation, and faithfulness as qualities of growth, which are controlling variables; on the other hand, he speaks of numerical growth, organic growth, conceptual growth, and incarnational growth as dimensions of growth. The church growth movement that started from Donald A. McGavran has had a great effect on the development and the growth of churches around the world including the Korean Church. However, according to changes of the times and their cultural environments, new paradigms of church growth are demanded. In particular, such demand is urgent in the Korean society in which the characteristics of postmodern culture are becoming stronger more and more. In this context, Costas' wholistic concept of growth offers a valuable frame of thought for a new paradigm of the Korean Church's growth. However, his theories must not cease by simply suggesting some theological principles but must be developed into a practical tool for analyzing and evaluating churches in the field.

Thirty years have passed since the first Korean missionary Youngja Kim had arrived in India in 1980. Korean missionaries have filled up the vacancy of Western missionaries after they had gone home. They have done excellent job particularly in the field of church planting where the Western missionaries found it hard. Unfortunately, however, Korean missionaries have worked tirelessly without having any chance to get feedback from Indian natives and churches. This article shows the present situation and some problems of Korean missions. Its aim is to evaluate Korean missions in India by the reflection on Indian culture and Indian critic of foreign missions carried out in India. Korean missionaries have worked mainly among so-called the scheduled caste people and the scheduled tribe, namely the lowest strata of Indian society. The religion of S. C. and the S. T. is Buddhism, Sikhism, Animism and Totemism unlike the mainline Hinduism. The Korean missionaries' work is mostly focused on church planting, along with teaching ministry in seminaries and schools, and social service. Indian Christians examined themselves and confessed that 90% of their evangelistic efforts are carried out among about 4% Christians of their country. They proposed that their focused missionary efforts should be made among the main line caste Hindus who have not heard the Gospel. Secondly, Indian Christian leaders like R. C. Das demanded that foreign financial assistance should be stopped right now unless western missionaries would ruin the native initiative and the spirit of self-reliance which is essential to the fulfillment of Indian evangelism. Thirdly, they suggested that church building is culturally irrelevant in India where spirituality is raised by parents and elders rather than by the appointed paid Christian workers. Based on these criticism, Korean missionaries have to shift the traditional paradigm of missions in India as following. First, Korean missionaries should strike a balance by focusing on missions among the higher caste Hindus or middle class people in cities. Second, Korean missionaries should stop the financial assistance to the Indian workers and churches, and rather plant the independent spirit and the gospel faith.

It could be said that the Korean Church has improved through continuous diverse debates and division in its history. The debate in Korean Church history has begun after missionaries who came in early Korean Church history, so that it became different denominations. It my theses, I will study the diverse debate forms in the history of the Korean Church. For this, I will divide the Korean Church history in several periods according to the most important events. The first period is the 1910's in this period the Korean Church was established. The second period is 1930's, where there was theological debate between conservative theologies and liberal theologies. The third period is 1950's, when the Korean Presbyterian Church began to divide. The fourth period is 1970's: in this period there was a lot of debate over indigenization and 'Minjung' theology and also the conservative theology which made the churches grow. The final period is 1990's, in this period, conservative theologians and church leaders made super-size churches expel two liberal theologians who tried to establish the Korean theology in a Korean context. In my thesis, I will study the debate forms of each period and transitional phases in Korean Church history. It would not be possible, of course, to study all the denominations of the Korean Church. Therefore, I will research the Korean Methodist Church and the Korean Presbyterian Church, as the Korean Methodist Church has been in existence since the arrival of early missionaries who first came to Korea and also the Korean Presbyterian Church which has been most divided of the different denominations in Korean Church history. It could be helpful to find the new way of mission for unity and forgiveness in Korean church history.

본 이론적 연구는 교회와 지역사회간의 관계들을 설명하여 교회사회사업으로서 노인을 위한 죽음, 임종, 그리고 사별에 관련하는 호스피스 프로그램의 실천적이고 위기개입적인 가치들을 정립하고자 시도하고 있다. 교회사회사업 접근에 기초하여, 본 연구의 이론적 근거는 교회들이 교회사회사업으로서 호스피스 프로그램들을 받아들일 수 있는지, 죽음과 사별에 관련된 욕구를 가진 노인을 위한 사회 서비스의 질과 양을 가질 수 있는지, 그리고 자원봉사자 서비스 프로그램을 활용함으로서 지역사회와 협력하는 사회 통합 기능들을 수행할 수 있을지의 여부를 가정하고 있다. 이 이론적 연구는 인간 자원 훈련 프로그램을 가진 교회와 연계함으로서, 노인을 위한 죽음, 임종, 그리고 사별과 관련하는 호스피스 프로그램의 실천적이고 위기개입적인 가치들이 입증되어질 수 있다는 것을 나타내고 있다. 노인을 위한 교회사회사업의 적용들은 지역사회와 가치 지향적인 서비스로서 호스피스 프로그램을 실천함으로 강조되어질 수 있다.

This study aims to introduce the concept of equipping church to church leaders in Korea for more effective lay leadership development and lay ministry. The traditional churches, which are hierarchical, institutionalized, and clergy-driven, generally do not have a well-organized sequential process for equipping the laity. As a result, in these traditional churches, lay people remain as bystanders, subordinates, and receivers of ministry, rather than becoming creative partakers in ministry. In contrast, some churches are focusing on lay development through well-organized sequential phases and are deploying equipped lay people in various ministries according to their spiritual gifts. These churches are called “equipping churches.” Based on this understanding, in section II, the author defines the equipping church as a church that focuses on educating lay people for ministry and leadership in order for effective shared ministry to occur. In section III, the author discusses theological basis for the equipping church, which includes ecological ecclesiology, the priesthood of all believers, and holistic ministries according to spiritual gifts. These theological understandings are all based on the biblical teaching of the church as the body of Christ, in which all people of God are interrelated and work together according to their spiritual gifts for the kingdom of God. In section IV, the author presents five essential qualities that shape the equipping church: (1) Equipping pastor, (2) Equipping process, (3) Equipped lay leaders, (4) Shared ministry, and (5) Laos-driven structure. The author names these essential qualities ‘Five Pillars of the Equipping Church.’ In this church, the main role of the pastor is to equip lay people to be mature Christian ministers. Through well-organized equipping processes, equipped lay leaders occur and lead various kinds of ministers according to their spiritual gifts. Therefore, the equipping church has laos-driven structure in which the clergy and the laity build horizontal and circular network relationship, keeping same ontological status. Today many Korean church leaders are struggling with instantly-made lay leaders who have not passed through an appropriate equipping process and entered into the inner-circle of the Church to practice leadership. Leadership-making is a process, not a day event. Through a well-planned sequential process, effective lay ministry partners are produced. Without a well-organized lay-equipping process, the Church cannot have entrepreneurial Christian lay leaders. Therefore, Korean church leaders should focus on developing well-organized and sequential equipping processes for the naïve/beginning Christians to be effective lay ministry partners. The older mechanistic, linear, and hierarchical structure of the church needs to be replaced by ecological, circular, and horizontal organism, which is biblically faithful. This can be possible through the equipping church which is a model of church renewal.
