Over 1.4 million foreigners live in South Korea now. The number of marriage-related immigrants is 125,673 and that of children of multicultural family is 107,689. These facts are brand new ones during the last five thousand year history of Korea. Such a change challenges Korean people and Christians to rethink respectively about their identity. This article aims at describing the current situation of immigrants, especially marriage-related immigrant women and multicultural family, identifying tasks for immigrant mission in Busan, Ulsan and Kyungsangnam-do and searching for the immigrant theology. Methodologies used in the article are: literature study, interview with specialists in immigrant mission, social biography of marriage-related immigrant women, missiology of encounter with other and Post-colonial Feminism. In Busan, the researcher chose four church/mission center/Christian NGOs participating in the immigrant mission in 2009. And he chose five mission centers/Christian NGOs participating in the immigrant mission in 2010. He interviewed with 31 members of multicultural families and with 9 specialists in the immigrant mission. Ninety-nine marriage-related immigrant women responded to the survey prepared by the researcher. The results of the social biography of multicultural family and the surveys of marriage-related immigrant women are: first of all, recovery of ‘normality’ of the multicultural family, for the family has been represented by the mass media as ‘abnormal’ one with family violence: secondly, Christian faith contributes for them to accommodate to Korean culture and to overcome conflicts between husband and wife of multicultural family: thirdly, the international marriage initiated by commercial agencies is blamed as money- exchange-marriage but the reality of such a family life is similar to that of a marriage arranged by a go-between: lastly, marriage-related immigrant women are faster learners of Korean language and culture than migrant workers. Tasks for immigrant mission are: to strengthen the multicultural family by overcoming cultural conflicts, to support for their children education, to establish multicultural faith community, to encourage marriage-related immigrant women to get a job, to suggest education programs for Korean Christians and Korean citizens, and to prevent from religious conflicts through peace education among religious groups.

이 연구는 교육적 관점에서 사회자본이 교육격차 해소의 대안으로 주목받고 있는 점에 착안하여 이주배경 자녀들의 고등교육기관 진학 여부에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2015년 전국다문화가족실태조사에 응답한 총 722명의 만18~24세 이주배경 가정의 자녀와 그들의 이주배경 부모의 조사자료 그리고 가구구성표를 통합하여 분석 하였다. 분석 결과, 부모의 최종학력이 높을수록, 부모와 자녀간의 대화시간이 길수록 그리고 이주배경 부모가 다양한 사회활동을 하는 것이 자녀의 고등교육기관 진학에 긍정적인 요인으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났으며 중도입국 자녀의 경우는 국내 출생 자녀들에 비해 고등교육기관 진학에 불리한 위치에 있는 것으로 확인 되었다. 따라서 이주배경 가정의 사회자본 증가에 기여 할 수 있는 사회적 제도 개선과 적극적인 교육적 접근이 요구된다.
