This thesis is to represent a application of ‘Community Health Evangelism’ to ‘Multicultural Mission of Korean churches’ as a method of balanced evangelisations and Christanised social responsibility in the aspect of ‘Holistic Mission’, while there are much interest of Korean society on increasing number of migrants and ‘Multiculture’. The main works of CHE are ‘Maternal and child health’, ‘Village development’. ‘Educational works’, ‘Enterprise for women and children’ and so forth. These works are very similar to works of migrants' centres; ‘Medical services’, ‘Shelters’, ‘Enterprise of Multicultural family’, ‘Consultation centre’ etc. However, these kinds of centres are just offering one way-helps to migrants but, they can not support migrants to develop and grow themselves overcoming their inferior environments and lives. Accordingly, CHE strategy would play positive roles in making their works maintain the identity and trait of Christian gospel in works of Multiculture missions which stress on social responsibility and then suggest concrete and modified alternatives for social evangelisations.

본 논문은 기독교사회복지의 정체성을 찾기 위한 연구이다. 일반사회복지와 기독교사회복지가 그 차이점을 발견하면서 기독교사회복지의 정체성을 확인하였다. 그리고 이에 따라 기독교사회복지가 실천되고 있는지의 여부를 분석하였다. 이러한 시도는 오늘날 기독교가 사회복지활동에 참여를 많이 하고 있는 상황이기 때문이다. 그리고 일반사회복지가 기독교 신앙과 다른 입장에 놓여있는 부분들이 있기 때문이다. 뿐만 아니라 가치 충돌이 기독교사회복지 현장에서 일어날 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 이유로 기독교사회복지의 정체성을 확보하고자 시도한 것이다. 본 연구는 기독교사회복지가 무엇인지를 밝혀내기 위해서 포커스그룹 인터뷰 연구 방법을 채택하였다. 연구 결과 사상(이념), 가치, 주체, 대상, 동기, 목표, 영역(범위), 방법, 재원 등 9가지 차원에서 다르다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 사상(이념)’ 차원에서는 하나님의 형상인 인간을 소중히 여기는 하나님 중심의 사상인 ‘신본주의’ 입장을 취하고 있고, ‘가치’ 차원에서 ‘진리가 주는 자유’, ‘하나님의 형상으로서의 평등’, 그리고 ‘하나님 나라의 정의’를 그 가치로 여겨 결국 성경이 제시하는 가치를 추구하고 있다고 밝혀졌다. ‘주체’ 차원에서 교회, 기독교기관, 기독교관련단체, 기독교공동체, 그리고 기독교신자개인이 주체가 되었다. ‘동기’ 차원에서 ‘이웃사랑’이 실천의 동기가 되었고, ‘목표’ 차원에서는 ‘하나님의 나라’가 목표가 된다는 것이 그 차이점으로 나타났다. ‘영역(범위)’ 차원에서 영적 차원도 포함시키는 영역을 갖는 것으로 나타났고, ‘방법’ 차원에서 삶을 변화시키는 ‘총체적 회개’가 중요한 방법으로 등장하고, 사회복지학과 인접학문의 이론과 실천 기술에 대한 기독교세계관에 기초한 적용이란 방법을 채택하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 ‘재원’ 차원에서는 일반사회복지의 재원 모두와 특별히 교회 지원금 및 성도의 후원금이 추가되는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 기독교사회복지 실천 실태 분석에서는 일반적으로 기독교사회복지의 정체성에 입각하여 실천하고 있는 것으로 드러났다.

In the end of August 2008, atrocities against Christians of Khandamal district of Orissa state in India occurred by Hindu mobs driven by Bajrang Dal, the youth wing of Hindu World Council: 59 people were killed, 18,000 were injured and 159 churches were damaged, along with 4,400 houses. Apparently, this communal violence was erupted from the antipathy of Hindu nationalists towards conversion movement of Christian missionaries. Yet, inwardly, the poor Khands tribe felt jealous of rich Panas tribe after being converted to Christianity. The Bajrang Dal attempted to take advantage of such communal tension for the political purpose of taking seats in the upcoming 2009 general election. Communal violence happens dime a dozen in India. Yet, recently, the target of Hindu nationalists was directed to Christians in the tribal areas of Orissa rather than to Muslims, previously the major enemy of Hindus. The reason was the steep increase of Christians in this district due to missionary activities. The leaders of Hindu nationalists were in the grip of fear and vented their anger over this issue. According to the ideology of Hindutva(Hinduness), Indian nation has to be necessarily a Hindu nation and the Hindus alone are the true sons of the soil. Moreover, the non-Hindus are a menace, the polluted to be purged, if they would not be assimilated to Hindu way of life. The feature of nationalism of K. Hedgewar of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was cultural nationalism which elevated India to the goddess of motherland. From the perspective of Hindutva, the conversion of Hindus to non-Hindu religion is an anti-national activity, thus, they should put it down by all possible means. Likewise, the communal ideology of the Hindu nationalism is exclusive, chronical, and subjected to violence. In this regional context, Christian missionaries should respect Hindu gods and goddesses and understand their faith and Hindu nationalism rather than villify them. In order to avoid unnecessary clash, it is recommendable for Christians to involve in inter-personal evangelism and establishing house churches rather than in building churches and institutions. Missionaries should encourage the local Christians to be financially independent so that Christianity can be presented as a genuine spiritual religion. Urban middle class Hindus should be the target of missionaries, moving from the previous lower strata of Hindu society.

이 글은 우원 이호빈 목사(友園李浩彬, 1898-1998)의 독립운동과 토착적 신앙운동으로서 예수교회운동을 창조적으로 해석하여 인류보편사적이고 민족사적이고 한국교회사적인 맥락과 의미를 밝히려는 작업을 시도했다. 우원의 기독교 복음에 바탕을 둔 새로운 생명운동과 평화운동은 근대 제국주의와 서구적인 근대 기독교 패러다임을 넘어선 지평에서 주체적인 한국기독교인의 삶의 세계를 열어냈다. 이것을 선교사들의 ‘서도서기 패러다임’과 초기 한국기독교의 주체적인 입장인 ‘대도대기 패러다임’을 넘어선 ‘한도한기 패러다임’으로 파악했다.

In the age of neo-liberal, global capitalism various kinds of human communities are continuously deconstructed and the creation is severely demolished. Under this circumstance diakonia should overcome the dichotomy of giver and receiver, which means the Baal type of diakonia theology. On the one hand, the giver always wants to be a giver/stronger, so that s/he has never accepted help from others and s/he denies the justification by faith. On the other hand, the receiver could be a crippled inside by negating the possibility of becoming a giver. However, there is an alternative model of diakonia, alternative community model. This model is an “alternative” to the neo-liberal, global capitalism and an alternative “community” model rather than an alternative individual one. In this paper, diakonia is defined as a salvation act through establishing faith community aiming at the Kingdom of God. This thesis aims at suggesting some cases of diakonia of Korean Christianity as alternative community models. There are four types of alternative communities: community type (Pulmu school and its local community), church type (Jagun church), church-community type (Baegun church and Hanmaum community, and Multicultural church and the Borderless Village), and NGO type (Youngdungpo-UIM based credit cooperative, Kwanak Self-support Center, and Ulsan Social Enterprise). The missiological significance of these alternative communities is such as: their aim is the kingdom of God and church should be a sign-community orienting toward the kingdom of God; their model is the koinonia of trinity; the close relationship between diakonia and koinonia; members of alternative communities are the little, outcasts, and minjung; we learn from them that the mission paradigm shifts from social mission to life mission; the center of the life mission is economy so that alternative economic community is very important; the importance of spirituality, concentrating toward the inner mind in oder to serve others(people and the creation). Though we are looking for alternative community models, they are particular ones, fit to their own socio-political, cultural and economic traditions and systems. However their missiological significance shows us some contour of a universal picture.

Today, a lot of schools aim for open education and school. In the same context, Christian university can’t be equal to academy mission, building a high wall of a doctrine. As Paul confesses that I can do everything through him who gives me strength for the Gospel under any circumstances, Christian university must be open for the Gospel. Above all, open school is open for all students and must be always ready for a meeting. Open Christian school is to ask a meaning of life and to meet students asking a question of existence, receiving them with a open mind and help them welcome Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. This is possible to be one in the center of Christ. School personnels who work in Christian university are to serve faithfully. They must take part in the faith training program actively and positively as ripe christians. Students who work in missionary organizations and christian groups have to cooperate each other in university. Because of spiritual superiority and arrogance of faith, we must not be separated and repeat past mistakes. On the contrary, we must receive in a humble way the comment that missionary organizations were a obstacle to academy mission. In the case of a part of missionary organizations, officials and core members used to build a wall and blame a church. And so, we have to improve this negative attitude. When members in campus as a God people have to cooperate each other and live in a place of life as the witness of the Gospel, the future of the campus mission will be better and brighter. We will get the vision of the future, conversing past history with present situation. First, we will examine the missionary history of christian university briefly and diagnose the situation of campus mission. On the basis of this diagnosis, we should present several important tasks to practice for mission. This paper will give a direction of campus mission with a limitation of research range. We will examine this paper in the center of Jeonju University .

Yun Chi-ho(1865-1945) was the first Korean to study theology in the United States of America. After returning to Korea, he contributed largely to Korean independence movement and Christian higher education. This paper examines Yun’s thought on mission and education, claiming that Yun was a pioneering theologian of mission in paving a way to renewing the Christian education for life. He criticized the racially-distorted theological position of Western missionaries and changed the direction of mission from evangelism for conversion to transformation in individual life and social structure. As his diary shows, Yun’s early experience of the USA allowed him to recognize the racial prejudice of American missionaries toward indigenous people in mission fields. He argued that non-Christians should be treated as the same spiritual and intellectual beings as the missionaries. For him, Christian mission was a necessary step for widening the freedom of religion among non-Christians because it gave them more options to cultivate themselves both intellectually and morally. He believed that it was not human agents but God that was the ultimate subject of mission. His participation at the World’s Parliament of Religions strengthened his confidence in Christian mission. At the World Missionary Conference in 1910, Yun presented his ideas of mission to Western missionaries and theologians. According to him, Korean Christianity was Bible and common people centered. Pointing out three dangers(① the revival of Buddhism and Confucianism, ② the introduction of Western philosophy, and ③ the emphasis on sudden conversion), he put the principle of Christ over the first principle in the matter of financial planning and distribution decision. He believed that the self-determination of indigenous leaders through the cooperation with missionaries was more important than the needs of missionaries and their home churches. For Yun, Christian mission was deeply related to Christian education for life. He contended that Christian life was the life of faith and community open to culture and the world. In conclusion, Yun proposed a viable form of Korean Christianity which seemed to be more sympathetic to the hearts of Korean people and their culture in the early 20th century Korean context. His contemporaries, however, failed to recognize the importance of vision and strategy developed by Koreans themselves.
