4차 산업혁명 시대의 목회

Abstract

Declaring the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Klaus Schwab said revolution is ongoing in three ways. The first is that the speed is now expanding at exponential speed rather than linear speed. Second, the breadth and depth of the system shows a distinctly different view from the previous generation. Third, the system shock shows that the whole system of the state, enterprise and industry is changing. Actually, the development of technology and the development of science are beyond human imagination. The technologies that symbolize the fourth industrial revolution are artificial intelligence, the Internet of things and the cloud. These technological and scientific developments not only change human lives, but also change their minds and environments. In this age, we asked if the question of Human, God, and faith community would be valid. The development of artificial intelligence and technology is increasingly replacing humanity. However, human life span is increasing exponentially. Maybe later, humans could be immortal. The dream of living forever without dying was the most basic and religious wish of man. But when human beings become immortal without the help of God, they will ask about existence. In this age, God has no choice but to ask what it means. Could science that allows human beings the immortality that God has to do can take the place of God? In the context of the collapse of human understanding and the question of the meaning of God, is the church, or community of faith, possible? First, I think we should ask about the meaning of community in this age. The existing concept of community collapses and the community of cyberspace, such as SNS, is becoming an alternative. In particular, individualism is spreading and we are already meeting with the community. However, the individualized people are rather pursuing the community. Perhaps this is the possibility of a community of faith. In other words, it is not a fragmented individual but an individual who builds a community again. This can be said to be a reassembly of individuals liberated from the previous collectivistic community. In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, our questions about man, God, and the faith community should be renewed. Not only that, but also what should be pursued by the community created in the future environment should be newly established.
