한국의 정치변화와 교회의 정치에 대한 사회참여 연구

Abstract

God created the earth with his discipline and created man in his own image. When mankind has politics to disturb God’s discipline, the church has to try to recover and make straight the broken order through social participation. Concluding that the relationship between church and state politics is because churches are a member of the state, the state must follow the norm to maintain social order, secure healthy religious activity and be a national organization that provides protection for human dignity. Church is not an employing institution for political authority but the community that erects and cherishes society rightly with God’s love and justice. Therefore the church has to be responsible for positive progress and for making a difference in the state. For this responsibility, the church has to keep growing and maturing by itself. It is important that the Church must insure substantiality. Also the church has to remind its members not to be blind and to give guidance by turning their attention to social problems. This study is done by researching the need for the relation of the state and church, and political social participation of the church. The church exists in the state and must not separate each other and the church has a mission that participates in some state management for justice and the protection of human rights in state politics. Also this is studied by a participating form of the Korean church according to the political change of Korea. It shows that the conservative camp in Korea bends all their energies on church stability and growth in political asylum, and the liberal camp in Korea had a time of struggling for political reform on the forefront of its polity. The political social participation of both camp requires an improvement in their participation form because of their overemphasis. Therefore, the church has to have community concepts to take notice of human beings and has to be free from the shape of the structure of the church to do right political social participation. Also it takes note that both camps have to deal successfully with each other and the church has to change its perception in order to do prophetic social participation.
