Korean churches need to express faith in language meaningful for our context Not only churches in Korea, but all churches in the world, so that Korean churches are able to make enriched communication with churches about confessional articulation, an issue developing and seeking resolution in many parts of the world. In this paper, I have suggested a viable Korean common confession concerning Korean context. My proposed faith statement includes the issues of the visible unity of the Korean church, Christian solidarity, Korean church as the universal ecumenical family. It aims to alleviate tensions brought on by gender-laden language, and to express Jesus as peacermaker concerning socio-economic, and political situation of Korea. The confession further recognizes the Holy Spirit who blesses us by absolutely releasinghan-ridden life of Korea. Christian faith cannot be separated from the dynamic life among society. I dream the my proposed common confession of Korean churches contribute to communicate the core of the gospel with context we live. So that the kingdom of Christ is to be established in peace in Korea.
