“교회교육

A Study of Church Education：Focus on New Encountering of Theory and Context

그간 보수진영 교회는 예배와 기도와 전도 등을 강조하여 양적 성장과, 경험신앙과 위로목회에 공헌했으나 내향적 교회주의와 탈 역사적 기복주의 신앙 등으로 역사 속에 하나님 나라를 건설하는 데는 미흡했다. 진보진영 교회는 예언자 사명과 흩어지는 교회에 주력하여 민주화와 인권신장에 기여했으나 교회를 사랑하는 데 부족했고, 복음전도를 우선시 하지 않았다. 한국 진보와 보수 양 진영의 교회교육은 공동체 형성 교육과 함께 개개인의 영성을 기르는 교육을, 역사 안에서 일하시는 하나님을 체험하게 하는 교육과 더불어 초월해 계시는 하나님을 만나게 하는 교육을, 예언자로서 변형 교육과 함께 제사장으로서 어루만지고 낫게 하는 교육으로 생명과 복을 누리게 하는 지혜교육을 창조적으로 통합해 나가야 한다. 은총과 생명과 섬김의 세 요소가 소통하면 원리주의와 배타주의, 영지주의와 신비주의, 그리고 인본주의 방법 등을 극복하여 하나님 나라의 희년교육이 가능하다. 은총교육은 목회와 교육의 이원화를 극복함으로 목회와 교육의 통합을 수행하고, 주일학교 구조에서 신앙공동체 구조로 나아가며, 지식위주 성경공부에서 변화지향 공부를 시도하고, 성장세대과 함께 전생애 교육을 추구하고, 상식 교육구조에서 전문 교육구조로 나아가면 열매맺을 것이다.

The activities of church education in various churches are progressed as follows; Mebic Worship Services, Wing Wing Worship Services.

The jubilee of God’s kingdom are as follows：“disciples who know they are spiritually poor and God’s kingdom, disciples who mourn and comfort, disciples those who are humble and land, disciples whose greatest desire is to do what God requires and satisfaction, disciples who are merciful to others and mercifulness, disciples who are pure in heart and seeing God, disciples who work for peace and God’s children, disciples who are persecuted because they do what God requires and God’s kingdom.
