경건운동은 신앙의 실천운동이다. 이 운동은 당시의 시대사조로 인해 죽어가는 영혼에 생명력을 불어넣어 주었으며 교회의 갱신과 사회의 개혁을 이끌어냈다. 스페너가 시작한 경건운동은 프랑케가 이어받으면서 크게 성장한다. 그는 경건운동을 성경말씀을 기초로 하여 전개하였다. 그는 절제되고 경건한 삶을 살면서 사람에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 교육에 힘을 썼다. 그리고 교육받은 자들이 사회에 서 경건운동을 실현해 주기를 바랐다. 프랑케의 초기 선교는 성경말씀 을 실천함으로써 보여주는 존재의 선교를 드러낸다. 그리고 그의 경건 운동 실천의지와 이타성은 할레공동체가 형성되면서 사회참여 선교로 발전한다. 그리고 덴막-할레선교회가 설립되면서 최초의 개신교 해외 선교사를 파송하였다. 본 연구는 프랑케의 경건운동이 할레공동체를 통해 어떻게 진행되어 사회참여적 선교로 발전해 나갔는지 보여주고 있다.

‘선교적 공동체’는 세상에 널려있는 공동체의 일반적인 표지는 아니다. 이 공동체는 기독교라는 독특한 본질을 포함하면서 세상에 하나님 나라를 드러내는 고유의 존재감을 가진다. 이곳에 있는 성도들은 자신들이 속한 교회 안 밖의 다양한 조직에서 나름대로 선교적 그리스도인으로 변화하려는 노력을 한다. 그들은 교회가 구원의 공동체임을 알리는 역할, 진정한 이웃이 되는 실천, 그리고 관찰자의 위치에서 선교적 조언자 역할을 한다. 본고에서 필자는 위에서 주장한 선교적 공동체 구성원의 세 가지 역할에 요더의 선교 이론 중 부합하는 일부분을 반영했다. 첫 번째로 산상수훈을 실천하는 공동체의 제자도 실천을 중요시했다. 두 번째로 완전한 제자 공동체의 지속적인 확산을 강조했 다. 세 번째 주장은 공동체의 현실적 대응은 알곡 공동체의 성장점이라는 것이다. 즉, 선교적 그리스도인으로 인해 변화와 성장을 체험한 알곡 공동체는 새로운 증인 공동체를 위한 씨앗으로 세상에 존재한다.

본 논문은 ‘한국 농촌에서 통전적 선교를 성공적으로 수행하는 농촌교회들이 있는가? 있다면 그들의 동기, 목적, 특징, 및 당면 과제들은 무엇인가? 그들이 가지고 있는 공통점들로부터 얻을 수 있는 선교적 통찰은 무엇이며, 그것은 어떻게 한국 농촌교회에 보편적인 원리로 적용될 수 있을까?’라는 질문으로부터 시작되었다. 이 질문들에 답하기 위해서 연구자는 먼저 통전적 선교의 신학적 근거가 되는 통전적 선교신학, 선교적 교회론, 웨슬리의 통전적 선교실천을 간략하게 서술한다. 그리고 실제로 오늘 한국 농촌에서 통전적 선교를 성공적으로 수행하는 여섯 개의 농촌교회들을 사례연구하고, 그들이 가지고 있는 공통점들로부터 농촌교회의 통전적 선교를 위한 필수 요소들을 정리한다. 그것은 (1) 정주목회자(定住牧會者); (2) 선교적 교회론(선교적 자기정체성); (3) 지역사회의 필요에 대한 이해; (4) 성육신적 선교의 실천; (5) 통전적 선교의 수행; (6) 교회 안팎 사역의 균형; (7) 도시교회, 농촌교회, 교단본부, 신학교 간의 유기적 연대이다. 오늘 한국의 농촌은 절망과 희망, 위기와 기회, 쇠퇴와 가능성이 함께 공존하는 선교현장이다. 농촌사회의 고령화와 공동화로 농촌교회의 양적 성장이 한계를 드러내고 미자립 농촌 교회들이 산재해 있는 것은 농촌교회의 어두운 현실이지만, 귀농.귀촌 인구의 증가, 친환경 농산물의 생산과 소비증가, 다인종.다문화의 확산, 정주목회자들의 증가는 농촌교회와 농촌사회에 새로운 가능성과 희망을 제시하고 있다. 이런 선교현장에서 더 많은 정주목회자들이 선교적 교회론과 지역사회의 필요에 대한 분명한 이해를 가지고, 성육신적 선교와 통전적 선교를 수행하면서, 도시교회, 교단본부, 신학교와 유기적인 연대를 이루어간다면 농촌사회의 총체적인 변화와 복음화는 더 효과적으로 이루어질 것이다.

This paper focused on the Celtic Christian Community and their mission. In the centuries BC, the northern neighbours of ancient Greece and Rome were known by the description KELTOI means that strangers or hidden ones. The word CEILT is ‘an act of concealing’ from which the word Kilt, the short male skirt of traditional Celtic dress comes and we all know what a kilt conceals under it! They were rural, tribal, always on the move people, as such they were different to the Roman church which identified with the dominant power of the cities. The Roman church was unsure how to respond to these people as they were relational rather than rational, inspirational rather than institutional. Ireland (unlike Britain and Gaul) was untouched by the Roman Empire, thus it was from Ireland that Celtic Christian community had its roots and passion and expansion. The primary missionary movement across Britain which became a hinge in history as much of Europe was evangelised e.g. Patrick to Ireland 432, Columba 560 Ireland to Iona, Aidan 635 to Lindisfarne. Columbanus 591 to France, Italy and so it goes on. There are ancient sites, crosses all across Europe of Irish and Northumbrian saints bearing witness to the mission. The Celtic Mission is life mission or community mission. In the Celtic Christian world every ‘church’ was monastic. So when we talk about the Celtic church it is synonymous with the monastery, with people living in Community. The monastery was a monastic school where the seeking of God was ‘the one thing necessary’ – the very foundation of life. A commitment to Mission, meaning ‘being sent or obedience to the task’ as connecting with people, community on the road, building relationships, exploring spirituality; living in the story and living out the story. For the Community it is engaging in mission out of a context of being in the monastery. Moving into the unknown as well as the known, wandering for the love of Christ. There life may involve pilgrimage and peregrinati in a physical sense and this is certainly part of celtic Christinity’s vision. Mission is a mixture of going, staying, moving on, doing, being, excitement, mundane in the home and market place. Finding God at work in the everyday ordinariness of life as it is. The Celtic Mission is spiritual mission. They love of nature. An awareness of the unity of creation. Columbanus ‘If you wish to understand the Creator, first understand His creation.’ They were aware of the Cross over Creation. That God was to redeem the whole created order. The Celtic Mission is contextualization mission. A deep love of the Scriptures as God’s memory book of relationships and encounter. To listening & learning from the Scriptures, with both the prayerful reading of Lectio divina and studied research of the Bible encouraged. They had a great love of learning but it was a yearning for wisdom not necessarily knowledge. They had a wonderful balance and were known as Saints and Scholars. They wanted to learn how to live, how to follow Jesus as Lord as a way of life. and they concern about combination with their community's life. The Celtics were vigorous, energetic, and passionate. The Celtic missionaries were committed to scripture, to challenge, and to loving those whom they sought to win. May this celtic tradition lead to similar mission today.

The article explores the lifegiving holistic mission and strategy for the community in the Korean context in the global and ecological crisis era. The main body of the article consists of three parts. First, the paper deals with the issues of the Korean society in the global context and the responses of the Korean churches against them. The issues are as follows: the climate change and ecological crisis, widening of gaps between the rich and the poor in the globalization market system, conflicts of two Koreas, multicultural immigrants society issues in Korea, rapid emergency of the civil society as mission partners of the churches. Against the issues the Korean churches which have been fallen into scandals of bipolar tensions between the super and big churches and the small and selfsupportless churches in Korea, have lost energy to drive missionary activities to take measures to the issues. Formation of a new missional church in the view of community mission is asked in the Korean context. Second, the article discusses the lifegiving holistic mission for the community in which various organizations including faithbased organizations are active together for common good. The church mission for the community is necessary to be based on the mission of the trinitarian God of which the Holy Spirit leads the missions of churches for the community in the diverse ways of networks. The lifegiving holistic mission works for elevating quality of life of the community even in the ecological destruction crisis. Third, the paper suggests some strategies of the holistic mission for the community, analyzing mission experiences of three churches such as Bupyung Church (a small church in the city), Kwangyang Deakwang Church (a medium size church in the city) and Boryung Zion Church (a small church in the rural area) which are oriented to drive a lifegiving holistic mission for the community. In order to do mission activities in unity for the community the churches need to understand the solidarity concepts such as the covenant, responsibility for the other, and the conciliar process. Further the paper emphasizes the mission spiritualities for the lifegiving holistic mission for the community: incarnation of Jesus Christ and selfemptiness spirituality, integrity of worship in communication with community life, and the works of the Holy Spirit among the people of God.

The article deals with a possibility of the community development mission to alleviate poverty in the world, particularly in Cambodia in which poverty has been formed historically in the Theravada Buddhistic context. In a messianic perspective the article analyzes the religious, cultural and political factors to deteriorate the poverty and suggests an integral mission of Messiah Jesus for the community development against poverty. First, based on the definition of the relational and spiritual characteristics of poverty, the article describes the present poverty situation and its historical roots resulting from the time of the ‘glorious’ Angkor Kingdom civilization. Second, the article examines some opportunities to be able to change the poverty situation in the 16th to 20th century such as the future Buddha Maitreya movement, the Roman Catholic mission activities under the French colonialism, and the political messianism of the Pol Pot regime. They failed to alleviate the poverty situation and furthermore aggravated it. Third, as alternative the article discusses the Christian NGO mission. The NGOs can drive community development mission despite some limitations. In order to overcome them the article discusses a strategy that community members participate in the NGO mission from phase of planning and to self-supporting financially in their own context. Also the two examples of Hanah Mission and the CHE mission in Cambodia are examined. The article concludes to suggest the Messiah Jesus integral mission to transform the poverty community.
