기독교대학 청년선교를 위한 오페라채플 연구

Abstract

Chapel is one of the biggest missions as a Christian university. This is because it conveys the gospel and allows students to access Jesus Christ. It is hard to deny that Chapel with this important purpose is being shunned by students because it does not reflect the trend of the times well. First of all, students are very different from the past. This is because it is a visual generation, grew up in an information generation, and seeks something more sensual than deep thinking and reflection. It is difficult in past ways to preach the gospel to such a generation. Chapel's message should also be a way to fit students' eyes. To this end, we need to introduce the gospel through various cultural channels, recommend them rather than force, persuade them rather than proclaim it, and use five senses rather than words. Among the various ways of these chapels, this article introduces chapel based on music, especially opera. Under the theme of the opera, it is an attempt to catch the heart of the message and deliver it to the students' ears, and to gain a view through the colorful images and sounds. This article describes what the author has actually done and worked on, and is a form of numerous literary chapels. Through themes such as love, separation, sadness and death, the theme of the opera, I tried to convey a story about love and life and death, the ultimate question of man. At the same time, the quality of chapel was also improved by incorporating a high-quality medium called opera into the message. This article concludes that the future Chapel of Christian University not only utilizes various cultural channels, but also suggests the need to improve the cultural level of Chapel.
