본고는 제1차 로잔운동이 시작되었을 당시 남미 신학자들이 제기 한 복음의 사회참여적 의미를 통해 서구 복음주의 선교운동인 로잔운동 이 ‘총체적 선교’라는 균형점을 찾았던 것처럼 세계기독교(World Christianity)가 서구 중심의 기독교에 미칠 영향력에 대하여 살펴본 다. 복음전도와 영혼구원을 선교의 우선적이고 궁극적 목적으로 하는 로잔운동은 일반적인 통념과는 달리 1974년 제1차 로잔대회 때부터 라틴 아메리카의 신학자들의 영향으로 사회참여적 요소가 매우 강조되 었다. 이는 냉전시대 복음전도냐 사회참여냐라는 서구 복음주의 이념의 양극 구도에 미친 제3세계 신학자들의 공헌이다. 본고는 로잔운동의 사례를 세계기독교에 비교하며 제3세계의 특징들을 담지한 세계기독 교가 전통적인 기독교 신학에 총체적이고 균형적인 신학적 재형성을 요구하고 있다고 주장한다. 특히 세계기독교가 로잔운동과 관련하여 로잔운동의 서구적 담론에 복음주의 전통의 상대화, 로잔운동의 탈서구 화, 세계기독교를 통한 로잔운동의 위치 재설정, 그리고 다양성 추구를 지향하게 만든다고 본고는 주장한다.

This paper aims at studying the meaning and tasks of the third Lausanne congress on world evangelization in Cape Town, 2010. The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization was held in Cape Town International Convention Center with WEA from October 16 to 25, and it was entitled officially as “Cape Town 2010, The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization.” 4200 delegation out of 197 countries around the world participated in the congress which was held after the first Lausanne Conference in 1974 and the second Manila conference in 1989, and its scale had been the biggest since 1974. One third among its participants was women, and this indicates the characteristics of ecumenical movement in evangelism mission because the location where it was held was Africa. The qualification of participants in this congress is extremely personal, not the representative of churches. This shows that it is much more opened convention than CWME, another ecumenical conference, in which the only representatives of membership churches can participate, and it is more ecumenical convention. The theme of Ⅲ Lausanne Congress is ‘God in Christ, Reconciling the World to Himself’(2 Corinthians 5:19), and the congress deeply discussed how to testify Jesus Christ’s teachings in our society. During the congress discussed 4 topics everyday, and also it tried to present various issues in the church to world churches and interpretate them from a point of view in evangelism. Last day of the congress, the Cape Town Commitment were distributed. Doug Birdsall as a chairman said that it consisted of theological affirmation and missiological priorities. The former, which is theological basis based on Ⅰ and Ⅱ Lausanne Conference, means language’s supplement under the missionary situation in the 21st century, and the latter is to set the order of priority as an action plan. In other words, it is to decide what it should do in 10 or 15 years. The commitment has preamble and consists of 10 chapters. The preamble says that this has two meanings making sure of the devotion for vision and goals to Lausanne movement. First, it says that Ⅰ Lausanne Conference was for the tasks of world evangelization and its important result was Lausanne Covenant, and Ⅱ Lausanne Conference, Manila conference in 1989, which made strategic partnership over 300 for world evangelization suggested continuous devotion on the tasks. Second, it confesses that mentioning the devotion for Lausanne Covenant(1974) and the Manila Manifesto(1989) which was the key documents of Lausanne movement, we were not devoted to them. As Cape Town commitment consists of the language of love, every topic from chapter 1 to 10 contains the word, ‘love’. The word as reliance, obedience and passion to Lord expresses Lausanne commitment which churches preach the gospel to world as love to the gospel. It means love to the gospel as good news, love to every church as God's people, and our love to all the world.
