대학채플의 만족도와 복음화율을 높이는 세례식에 관한 연구 - 백석대학교 관광학부 대학채플을 중심으로

Abstract

Recently, the movement denying University Chapel is emerging in the inside and outside of Christian University. Under these crisis situations,University Chapel staff have been studying various researches and trying to develop new chapel programs to enhance the satisfaction of student’s chapel,specially focusing on non-christian students. Almost those programs were based on the student’s demands and expectations so that they could trigger the students’ attention and interest. But now, it is the time to contemplate how to boost the evangelization which is the original purpose of the University Chapel, as well as increasing it’s intrinsic satisfaction. One of the alternatives can be the baptismal ceremony. Baptism is a way of proclaiming the gospel not only to the recipient but also to those who participate in the ceremony. If the baptismal ceremony is well prepared and peformed, the satisfaction of student’s chapel and the evangelization rate will be increased. In order to prove this, qualitative and quantitative approaches are combined. First, the legitimacy and validity for the christening chapel in the university are presented. Second, the empirical analysis is utilized to find out the positive effect of the baptismal ceremony on the satisfaction of student’s chapel and the comprehension for the Christian spirit. After that, the contents and meaning of the christening chapel performed by the faculties of tourism division in Baekseok University are introduced. Finally, this study shows that baptismal ceremony can be an important tool of the evangelization to the baptism recipient as well as attending students. At the same time, this research also shows empirical evidence that the baptismal ceremony can enhance the satisfaction of student’s chapel and improve comprehension for the Christian spirit. In addition, another noticeable fact is that the students who show their confession of faith in the christening chapel may be another way to create higher rate of evangelization.
