로잔운동이 제시한 총체적선교 관점에서 바라본 대한민국 교회의 난민사역 고찰

Abstract

The Lausanne Movement has presented theological distinctives on various theological topics that contemporary theology must address. In particular, the Lausanne Movement has provided profound contribution in extending the field of traditional missiology within evangelical movement. A major contribution of the Lausanne Movement to the contemporary missiology is its impact on the evangelical movement to expand her argumentative debate over the priorities of evangelism or social engagement to the arena of integral mission. The Lausanne Movement has been actively working on presenting missiological theories on missional themes such as business as mission, diaspora and others. In fact, at the Pattaya forum it developed a variety of missiological subjects including diasporas and established issue groups to further cultivate it into a field of missiology. With the rise of the global phenomenon of international migration, the global church has utilized terminology such as multicultural, migrant, diaspora and others in her research topics in missiology and developed ministry in various areas. When the Lausanne Movement expanded to include the diasporas as a part of its agenda at its Third Lausanne Congress held in Cape Town in 2010, it had a significant influence on world missions. However, within the arena of international migrants, it is understood that current missions activities in caring for the involuntary diaspora refugees who are in need of urgent attention and care lack in comparison to other diaspora groups. Recently, as refugee crisis has arisen to become an international issue, a heated debate is transpiring on the topic of the responsibility of the Korean Church and her response to the refugee crisis. The purpose of this study is to exhort the Korean Church to proactively participate in this refugee crisis that is geopolitically or politically one false step removed. The Lausanne Movement is a global evangelical movement gathered to stimulate “the Whole Church, Taking the Whole Gospel, to the Whole World.” As such, the Lausanne Movement has endeavored to lay the missiological foundation for world evangelization through facilitating research and issue groups on various missiological subjects that are pertinent to the present times. By adopting The Lausanne Covenant, The Manila Manifesto and The Cape Town Commitment through the first three Lausanne Congress, the Lausanne Movement has not only established the foundation for evangelical missiology but also contributed answers to theological issues that confront the present times through hosting numerous global or regional theological forums and conferences. Refugee crisis is a particular aspect of diaspora missions that is significant in engaging the involuntary migrants with the gospel. At The Consultation on World Evangelization held in Pattaya, Thailand in 1980, the Lausanne Movement embraced the refugee issue as one of the seventeen miniconsultation issues and produced the Lausanne Occasional Paper 5. At the 2004 Forum, among the 31 Issue Groups, the integral mission issue group incorporated refugee issue and produced the Lausanne Occasional Paper 33 that included its research findings on refugee issues. The purpose of this paper is to understand the on-going refugee crisis in Europe that has emerged as a hot debate among the international community through the Lausanne Movement’s integral mission approach and to expand it to the ministry sphere of the Korean Church. It is true that the Korean Church is situationally not prepared both geographically and socially to provide attention to the refugee crisis. Nevertheless, the Korean Church now has an obligation to be more proactive in engaging with the international community on missional issues. The integral missiology of the Lausanne Movement appeals to the Korean Church to proactively participate in resolving the refugee crisis of the international community.
