Recently, a group of Christians participated in so called "prayer-walking" at Bongeunsa, a famous Buddhist temple in Seoul, Korea. They filmed and posted their activity on-line as an assignment for a training course at the Christian Worship Leaders School. It spread on the internet like a wild fire and the Buddhists enraged. Furthermore, mass media took this incident seriously and Korean Christianity was perceived to be an exclusive and ego-centric religion that justifies a religious attack on other religions out of self-righteousness and the sense of privilege. The people of Korea including Christians tend to erase the prayer-walking off out of the Christian practices. In the negative missional contexts of Korea, is it possible for Christians to pray during walking by the street or the other places? The study seeks the biblical foundation and the practice of prayer-walking and evaluates it on the basis of theology of mission. First of all, the prayer-walking has many biblical foundations on it; "every place where you set your foot will be yours"(Deuteronomy 11:24, Joshua 1:3), "two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven"(Matthew 18:19). and etc. On the basis of the Bible, the prayer-walking is a kind of Christian prayer for others to become the children of God. Analyzing the prayer-walking on the basis of the religious phenomenology, it is a religious attack strategy against the evil spirits and demons, a religious practice for healing of the sick, a religious petition for God`s help and safety on the specific events, and a religious action for solving the problems of society and revival of God`s Kingdom. This study suggests that Korean Christians do not have to discontinue prayer-walking, because it has the biblical foundations and because it is a Christian religious practice of spiritual warfare. However, it has to be cautious not to defame the symbols and practice of other religions, not to injure the physical and emotional moods, but to have an authentic practice to love human beings and souls and to defeat the evil forces for the glory of God.

20세기의 부흥운동과 선교

In the 20th century, Christian churches and mission agencies had a great revival and missionary movement. The revival movement made an huge impact on Christian believers to repent of their sins and to commit themselves into the missionary works. The mission mind that was coming out of revivalism must be a power to transform the churches and societies in order to evangelize their family members, friends, relatives, and even those who were in the physical and spiritual needs through all over the world. From the viewpoint of sociological stands, the 20th century revivalism tends to deny the theory of secularization. Even though the society of the 20th century became more secular than the previous century, the churches and mission minds could not be weaken by the secularization process. However, from the economic and political standpoints, it was negatively evaluated, because it should be closely connected with Western capitalism and American right wing sides. Lastly, from the socio-cultural aspects, it had a crisis of destruction threatened by the popular cultures and multi-cultures. In conclusion, revivalism and Christian missions have to go together. The missionary works should firstly recover the power and enthusiasm from the Holy Spirit. The missions, however, should not be royal only to a specific culture and nation but to the archy type of Christianity in the biblical first church. The major task of Christian missions should be the recovery of enthusiasm experienced in the biblical first church and the application to the all nations and people.

21세기 한국사회의 ‘문화굴절 상황’에서 한국교회의 선교적 과제

The term “culturally refracted contexts” means the distorted, twisted, and fixed contexts which have lost the functional roles of the social integration in the specific cultural situations. The author tries to categorize three kinds of the distorted cultural patterns among the culturally refracted contexts of Korean society by using an anthropological method. The first one is related to “distorted nationalism” in a refracted context of the traditional pre-modern culture in Korea. It has been shown up to the society as a phenomenon of worshipping the national forefather Dangun. The second one is to be known as “extremely twisted totalism” in a culturally refracted context of militarism in Korea. It has impacted on the politic, the economy, the religion, and even the education of Korean society. The third one is to be tied with “distorted mammonism” in a culturally refracted context of materialism. It has been rooted and fixed to “extreme ethnocentrism” in Korea. The author, then, argues that Korean churches should have God’s mission to integrate the distorted and twisted society with the gospel of Jesus Christ which brings reconciliation and recovery to the culturally refracted contexts of Korean society. The distorted and twisted contexts of Korean society should be recovered to the grace community of God, the peace community of Jesus Christ, and the mission community of the Holy Spirit. In other words, the “distorted nationalism” in a refracted context of the traditional pre-modern culture in Korea has to be deleted in the society by God’s universal grace. The social oppressed and the weak can be protected and empowered by the grace of God. The “extremely twisted totalism” in a culturally refracted context of militarism in Korea can be nullified by Christ‘s sacrificial peace which brings the culture of resurrection and life. The “distorted mammonism” in a culturally refracted context of materialism in Korea should be transformed into the sharing community to the world by the witness of the Holy Spirit who gives the forgiveness and reconciliation. Korean churches as the community of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, and God the Father should have a social and missional role of integration within the refracted Korean contexts of the distorted nationalism, totalism, and materialism with God’s grace, Christ’s peace, and the Holy Spirit’s sharing witness to the world and the society of Korea.

The purpose of the article is to analyze chinese churches and theology and to find out ways of the missional cooperation with chinese churches. The author tries to use the central frame of reference analyzing the whole theology of chinese churches such as a social system, a religious cultural system, a personal system, and a spiritual system. Indeed, chinese churches have a social system in which love, justice, morality, and social order have been respected for the social integration. Chinese churches have such a religious cultural system by which the indigenous movement can cope with chinese traditional ideas and philosophy. Chinese churches have a personal system in which they believe in the Bible as God`s revelation and foundation for theology. Chinese churches have a spiritual system with which they accept the holy words as the Bible, the holy God the Father, the holy Son Jesus Christ, and the holy Spirit. They try to reject the syncretic and gnostic trends of the liberal theologies. After understanding chinese churches and theology, the article has to seek the proper way of cooperation for doing Christian missions between chinese churches and korean churches. First of all, the mutual exchanges of theologians have to be first priority for teaching students and researching mutual churches and theologies. And then, the research journal can be published periodically. Understanding the mutual churches and theologies can lead to the mutual cooperation for Christian missions such as (1) training and educating the Christian leaders of chinese churches with the Bible focused theology, (2) establishing the bridgeheads for Christian missions near many border areas of China, and (3) making the discipline of missiology as a main subject of the seminary curriculum in order for chinese churches to be missional churches.

The article is to examine the religious phenomena of the ‘leadership succession’ of korean churches’ in order to understand its purpose and process by using the method of the sociology of knowledge. First of all, the author try to make it clear that ‘a leadership succession.’ It means a commission of the office duties of pastor by the consensus of the local congregation. Then, the author tries to analyze the phenomena of the ‘leadership succession’ of the Christian churches in Korea by using the method of sociology of knowledge. It has such results as follows; first, the ‘leadership succession’ is to a religious practice of the pastoral response for the survival of the local churches on the challenge of crisis in the leadership of korean churches; second, it must be the religious practice of the pastoral manifestation of responsibility on the specific community among difficulties of the pastoral environment; third, it can be the religious practice of the inter-generational networking for the union among the various generations of the local congregation. The author comes to a missiological proposal on the basis of the above analysis on the leadership succession, as it follows: first, the church community should understand its own particular circumstance and elect the successor who will have a responsibility to take care of the church community; second, it is to be reevaluate positively from the perspectives of missiology for the evangelism and church growth; third, it should be recognized and honored as a holy transitional practice of the church community not because of the physical consanguinity but because of the spiritual blood relationship for the local churches. Therefore, the leadership succession should have proper steps of the transitional process without a leadership vacuum on the basis of consensus of congregation.

The paper is to find out a missiological application of the activity theory and the exchange theory in the welfare of the elderly. As a missional practice of the churches, the welfare of the elderly can be different from those of the public or general welfare institutions in terms of Christian world views and the biblical concept on the elderly. In other words, the elderly should be understood as human beings created by God, sinned by their faults, and saved by the redemption of Christ. God will take care of the elderly, forgive their sins and faults, and save their entire body, soul, and spirit. The author asserts that the activity theory and the exchange theory should be connected to Christian world views and be holistic, integrated, and completed in the welfare of the elderly. It can make the missional agents confident in the missional welfare of the elderly. The churches should hire not only the professional on the field of welfare, but also do the missional practice with them to take care of the elderly. There are some suggestions in the paper. First, the missional welfare of the elderly should start its practice from the holistic approach including the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. Second, the missional welfare practice should be integrated with the local society, because the church is located in it. The missional welfare of the elderly should share with the local support system and resources for the effective services. Third, the missional welfare of the elderly should have the professional agents in the areas of planning, budgets, analysis, and evaluation.
