교단과 지교회, 담임목사의 삼면관계 - 담임목사의 선임과 해임을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The pastor in a local church-centered Protestant church is a non-corporate division, a spiritual leader of the congregation, the chairman of the session, the church council, and the council. Take the form of commissioning and sending to the local church. The duality of the status of the pastor is in the decision of the qualification and examination of the pastor, the decision of the appointment and dismissal of the pastor, and how the church will intervene. It is also related to the question of what to understand. Can the congregation's freedom-related congregation resolve the dismissal of the pastor or whether the presbytery can dismiss the pastor without the consent of the congregation? Acquisition and loss of the position of pastor belonging to a denomination may not be achieved solely by the will of any member of the local church or presbytery. The local church and the denomination are interconnected by ministers, so it is important to understand the problems of the trilateral legal relationship. Conventionally, the court has confused by the ruling that the church as a delegation can withdraw the delegation contract through the General Assembly based on the legal relationship between the pastor and the church, but dismissed the pastor without a disciplinary trial. I put it in the position that I cannot do it. On the other hand, the presbytery (the denomination) is in conflict with the principle of independence of the local church, which was taken by the traditional court, when the Supreme Court case came out that the pastor can dismiss the pastor regardless of the wishes of the local church members. The presbytery's dismissal of the pastor, regardless of the congregation's will, is as if it denies the spirit of religious freedom and the sovereignty of the church.
