한국교회의 보·혁갈등과 그 대책 - WCC와 에큐메니칼 운동을 중심으로 -

Abstract

In this paper, I want to survey the problems of the conflict between liberalismand conservatism of the Church in Korean context. I will especially focus on theWorld Council of Churches (WCC) and Ecumenical movement and then I willpursue the solutions of reconciliation and restoration between Korean churches. Around 2013 WCC in Busan, the Korean church was drawn into conflict again. Even though pursuing reconciliation and restoration of churches, church councilcaused the conflict and disagreement of churches. As a result, the Korean churchis revealed shameful aspects of themselves to the other world's churches. In thisconflict, ecumenical controversies between liberalism and conservatism ofKorean churches involved theological and ideological arguments withhegemony. The issue is that WCC denies inerrancy and inspiration of the Bible, and WCCdisapproves that Jesus is the only intermediate. And also WCC holds religiouspluralism based on false soteriology and ecclesiology. But WCC is not liberalismbecause it pursues the holistic Gospel,Trinity, Ecclesiology, Soteriology,Eschatology based on the movements of faith and work, and seeks to the kingdomof God. Recently, one of the important causes that Korean church has lost confidenceis the conflict between churches. Therefore the primary task of us is the unionand restoration between churches. In order to achieve this goal, church must firstly have the consciousness of anorganism. Church is the body of Christ. Every church is part of an organism consisting of Christ's whole body. Each part must be connected, harmonized andbalance one another. Secondly, church must destroy the obstacles between us,and be reborn toward a community of fence movers. Thirdly, church must get togetherand be the community of worship praying with repentance. Through worship,church must progress toward true accordance and unity. Church is the community of reconciliation and peace. Therefore church mustfulfill the ministry of reconciliation as Jesus Christ who became the intercessorand destroyed the barrier, dividing the wall between God and man.
