로잔운동의 “총체적 복음”에 대한 여성주의적 제언

Abstract

This paper critically reflects on the concept of "holistic Gospel" presented by the Lausanne Movement from a feminist perspective. To achieve this, it traces how the understanding of the "wholeness/integrity of the Gospel" has evolved over time concerning the changing composition of participants, particularly focusing on the Lausanne Covenant, Manila Manifesto, Cape Town Commitment, and other documents consistently presented by the Lausanne Movement since the first world congress in 1974. Through this analysis, it is observed that the Lausanne Movement, which initially revolved around Western leaders in the First World, has gradually expanded and deepened its understanding of "mission" and "mission fields" within the movement, influenced by non-Western perspectives, particularly the experiences of marginalized communities and structural injustices in the Third World Church. The paper emphasizes that to advance beyond the universalization of particular perspectives towards a substantial "holistic Gospel" understanding, it is essential to involve various ‘mission subjects’ in the discussion. Thus, the paper calls attention to the need for Lausanne Movement's 2024 global congress in South Korea to enhance the unique status of "women" within the movement and in the context of "mission" both as participants and in the mission field. The research points out the limitations of the Lausanne Movement, which has not transcended the romantic (or soft) patriarchal feminine gaze, and suggests practical proposals (such as the formation of a Lausanne Women's Theological Commission and the establishment of global/regional networks for women's issues) to consolidate women's position and actively engage their perspectives and messages as an integral part of public discourse.
