평신도신학으로서 디아코니아

Abstract

Diakonia/Christian social welfare is one of the important concerns at the present time, especially to our Christianity. The debate about the welfare since the 2012 presidential election points out not only the important question from the social political aspect, but also the Christian social welfare. What is it that distinguishes the Christian social welfare from the welfare of public institution?This article approaches the theological debate from the German point of view. Because German theology has deal with this problem for a long time and has many accomplishments for this work, after Germany provided a public welfare program. Yet our welfare system is slightly weak. Moreover the theological debate about the diakonia is weaker. Even though the layman were eliminated from the theological debate until now, from now they lead the church of 21c. Diakonia of the church is the central field of layman's work. So the theological understanding of diakonia is necessary to establish a theology of laity. Up to this point Euro-American theology focuses on the christological view, however the article builds the diakonik on the pneumatological. The kingdom of God as the eschatological community of the future appears in the current activities. This article defines that it demonstrates as diakonia, namely the layman's activities, which directly involved in eschatological community in the horizon of the kingdom of God. The nature of diakonia is the wholistic activities for the kingdom of God. This is the participation in the holistic and cosmetic salvation of God. The church as the eschatological community realizes with diakonia the reign of God, agape and justice. Diakonia is the process of restoration of men's destroyed relation and the order of creation with charisma of the Holy Geist. This is regenerated and sanctified by the Holy Geist's power, namely transformed new being and new order. It is that koinonia and diakonia of the grace Christi are enlarged by layman.
