로잔운동 관점에서 본 위그노 - 디아스포라 위그노가 근대사회에 미친 영향을 중심으로

Abstract

This thesis aims to re-examine the meaning of the Lausanne Movement ahead of the 50th anniversary of the Lausanne Movement and the 4th Lausanne Congress. For the purpose, it examines the faith and life of Huguenots who practically embodied the spirit of the Lausanne Movement in history. The Reformed Church and Huguenot, founded under Calvin's influence, suffered a lot of persecution and persecution in France, which had a Catholic national identity. The number of diaspora Huguenots who migrated to other countries due to severe persecution reached 4 million over 200 years. However, Huguenot's Exodus had unexpected results. At that time, the migration of Huguenots, which had many intellectuals, technical experts, and outstanding merchants, brought about industrial development in neighboring countries, and serious economic and political crises in France. Although the Huguenots were exiles, they were granted several privileges in exile due to their superior technical and commercial capabilities. The most important privilege was to establish church communities capable of maintaining the Huguenot faith, which enabled Huguenots to maintain and spread the Reformed faith in the settlements. Also their struggle for religious freedom contributed to the foundation of democracy, leading to Europe's first human rights declaration. The Lausanne Movement was an evangelical mission movement against the ecumenical mission movement that brought about a moratorium of mission. The Lausanne Movement has played a role in enabling evangelical churches to fulfill world evangelization in the 21st century. The greatest characteristic of the Lausanne Movement is that it is a biblical missionary movement based on the Bible. The Lausanne Movement pursues a Bible-centered missiology, which is expressed in the Lausanne Covenant, the Manila Manifesto, and the Cape Town Commitment. The 4th Lausanne Congress to be held in 2024 is especially meaningful to the Korean church. The reason is that the host country is Korea and, more importantly, it can be an opportunity to recover the difficult situation of the Korean church in which missionary passion is weakened. Therefore, Korean church needs to pay more attention to the Lausanne Movement, ahead of the 4th Lausanne Congress. The historical example of the diaspora Huguenot will be useful in helping Korean church members understand the spirit of the Lausanne Movement, giving them a challenge, and encouraging their participation.
