Abstract

This article studies how the Korean church, which has lost its social credibility, will restore it and carry out missionary works. It first examins the sources of mission theology that led to the loss of social trust. This was the establishment of a spiritual church and individualistic soul winning mission emphasized by the Presbyterian Missions in Korea. This policy caused conflicts with Koreans. In addition, this article studies missionary Elisabeth J. Shepping, R.N. 1912-1934, who emphasized both soul and social salvation, and further the missionary characteristics of Korean leaders who exchanged interactions with her. This article looks at how these characteristics are discussed in Lausanne and WCC documents which appear as peripheral mission, transformative holism, and incarnational discipleship mission. This article discusses their application to the Korean church.
