Abstract
The Korea Society of Mission Studies was established in October 1992. However, early formation began in 1990, In the fall of 1991, the mission theologians who first gathered for the founding of the Society petitioned the Korean Christian Association for the establishment of the Mission Theology Society. At the inaugural general meeting of the following year, Pres. Jung-won Seo, V. Pres. Jae-Oak Chun, and General Secretary Kwang-soon Lee were elected. The first Pres. Jung-won Seo, emphasized the status of mission theology, and Prof. Jae-Oak Chun emphasized the weakness of mission theology that should support the vitalization of missions. Prof. Kwang-soon Lee helped them and took on practical roles, from preparatory meetings to establishment, registering for conferences, and publishing academic journals. They served as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd presidents side by side, and their term of office lasted 2 years each. This article introduces the early activities of the KSMS. We must not forget the hard work of Prof. Soo-il Chai(1994) and Prof. Ki-young Hong(1996) increasing the few dozen members to 300 members in the Society today.
