미래 교회와 선교를 위한 혼종적 교회론

Abstract

There are many discourses in company with the fourth industrial revolution. However, Christianity focuses on eschatology rather than future. Future and the end of history should be distinguished but Christianity is inclined to jump to eschatology skipping future. This article tries to suggest an ecclesiology for the next church giving consideration to the discourse of futurists. This article will focus on convergency among the discourses on futurists and suggest the hybrid ecclesiology as the next church. The hybrid church connects the Christian faith to a professionality like the welfare church, the multi-cultural church, and the life church. Because the Gospel meets to a professionality, I will call it as the hybrid church. Academic field was divided by beginning with the modern world even though many academic fields was under the theology. Philosophy became independent of theology, and science was separated from theology. Academic field liberated from theology concentrated on its own speciality. However, academic field is trying to integrate its own field into other academic fields erasing the boundary line among academic fields. According to futurists, the competent person for future is the type of multi-player. This article will examine Augustine, Luther, and the Latin American theology for the theological foundation of the hybrid church. Unlike Donatism, Augustine suggested the mixed church. Luther claimed the universal priesthood. The liberation theology of Latin American seeks the basic ecclesial community. The mixed church of Augustine can become the theological foundation of the hybrid church, the universal priesthood of Luther informs the hybrid church with the spiritual dimension of all Christians, and the basic ecclesial community gives fascination insight to connect faith and work to the hybrid church. The hybrid church is the church of ambidexter to take the Gospel and a professionality all together. The traditional church was the church of right-hander to separate the holy from the secular. Futhermore, the church emphasizes the spiritual aspect rather than the secular aspect. However, the next church should try to make the conversant church to connect the Gospel to a speciality. For the hybrid church as a next ecclesiology, the formulation of Christian faith should be diversified. It cannot be denied that the only formulation of Christian faith is Creation- Corruption-Salvation. The life church to assimilate the Gospel with the environmental movement should re-construct the formulation of Christian faith like the primal Creation-the continuing Creation-the eschatological Creation rather than Creation-Corruption-Salvation. Furthermore, the church of art, the church of welfare, and the church of multi-culture should develop their formulation of faith.
