Since Korean War, even though Kim Chai-choon, Han Gyung-Jik and Park Hyong-Ryong had manifested their anti-communism, their understanding for it was quite different one another. For, they have experienced the communism in the different situations. For Kim Chai-choon, he manifested himself as an anticommunist but he had a deideological understanding in his deep aspect. He criticized the dogmatism of communism, not but communism itself. Thus, Kim’s understanding for communism is considered as deideological one. The reason that he had deideological understanding was that he was influenced from Reinhold Niebuhr. In 1950’s, right after the end of the Korean War, he expressed the very vigorous view against the communism. However, it was because Song Chang-gun, his supporter as well as his friend, was kidnapped by North Korea. Meanwhile, Han was the strong view against the communism and he was an anticommunist. He imparted a “red dragon” to the communism, which was the religious meaning. Right after the independence, Han established the Christian Social-democratic Party in a bid for political activities. But his activities caused the conflicts with communists. So, he came to South Korea. After the Korean War, he worked as a senior pastor for Bethany Church(it became Young-Rak Church afterwards), which was consisted of many North Korean refugees. This was the main reason why he became a very vigorous anticommunist. Therefore, Han’s understanding for communism was called an “ideological understanding for communism based on personal experiences.” Park Hyong-ryong was also an anticommunist but not so much as Han. Because he had been working in South Korea right after Independence, he had no chance to have confliction with communists. He understood the communism as “God’s punishment against sinful people” and such an understanding was very normal at that time. However, in 1959, since third division of Presbyterian churches, he has had cold war ideological understanding. NAE, in which he played a central role and WCC, in which Han played a central role, crashed each other. At that time, Park accused Han of pro-communist and since then, he started understanding “New Theology” and “Communism” in the same category. Since then, Park has interchanged with Carl McIntyre, who was an anticommunist as well as an extreme right Christian leader. As a result, Park had the cold war ideological understanding against communism. Kim Chai-choon, Han Gyung-Jik and Park Hyong-Ryong experienced the Korean War and their experiences made themselves anticommunists but the reason that their views were quite different was that they had very different experiences.

“And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.”(Mt. 10:42) With this saying the local followers were ordered to submit to the authority of itinerant missionaries and to support them. However, when the local congregation formed itself and grew up, they needed the resident leaders. There arose competitions and conflicts between the resident leaders and the itinerant missionaries. Thus the missionaries transferred gradually from the itinerant life to the resident one. Then the house community became the center of mission and meeting, which was supported materially by the patron. However, the house community with patrons disappeared gradually, because it could not overcome the problem of difference among member’s social status. Therefore the Christian congregation should solve the economic problem, without patrons, with the egalitarian spirit and the brethren love. The early Christians who knew the Judaic custom of offerings offered the donations for the church. The donations and the immovables which the members offered formed the church property. Notwithstanding Jesus’ critics of the wealth, the early church gathered the property for the solution of the economic problem. The early church could not furnish her preachers with the nourishment regularly. But as the Christian believers increased and the church grew up, professional ministers were needed. “For the workman is worthy of his meat”: Jesus intended this saying originally for his itinerant disciples, but the history proved that this was said for church ministers. It is a invariable truth that the change of the life conditions brings about that of the economic life. In the situation of itinerant life Jesus criticized the wealth (to say more exactly, the dependence on the wealth). But thereafter his disciples gave up the itinerant life for the resident life. By the above research I intended to show that a new possibility of the economic life had beginned. The choice of the resident life led to a new economic life, so that the church developed in the other direction than Jesus intended originally. This is the teaching which the history gave to us.
