한국교회 에큐메니칼 신학교육의 과제와 전망

Abstract

This article has a great concern for the development of theecumenical theological education in the Korean Christianity. The 10thassembly of WCC in Busan will be a meaningful challenge for both theKorean church and world Christianity in terms of peace, justice andlife. The life threatening consequences of neo liberalistic capital systemand anthropocentrism affect all dimension of creatures' lives in 21stcentury. Since the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference in 1910 hadbeen played as a stepping stone of the birth of World Council ofChurches, including WCC the ecumenical movement has tried toresponse to those social and global problems. In order to continue tothis ecumenical ministry, WCC has insisted the importance of nurturingthe next generation of ecumenical activists. In this article, I introducedthree documents of WCC, and analyzed the theological meanings inthem. I have introduced on ‘Oikos Theological Movement in Korea’ as analternative way of theological education working with faculites andseminarians of 7 Presbyterian seminaries of Presbyterian Chruch ofKorea and Ewha University. Learning and practicing the ecumenicaltheology, history, theological 8 themes, and ecumenical conversation,young Christian seminarians could have an opportunity to see the worldproblems related with Christian gospel and responsibility. Through this writing, I proposed the task of Korean church and Christian educationto transform Korean society and church renewal. Overcoming thelimitations of the Contemporary Korean protestant churches, such asmaterialism, individualism, and expansionism, we need to look closely atthe works and roles of the ecumenical theological education.
