Abstract
Calvin's fourfold office in Geneva was designed to fulfill the goals of church ministry, namely, education and discipline, in order to help the church and Christians to bear their distinctive marks. It represented a collaborative ministry of pastor and laity that demonstrated, to a great extent, parity and collegiality among offices. It is widely observed that Korean Presbyterian churches lack a sense of parity and collegiality among offices, particularly between elders and pastors. Since a hierarchical instead of collegial view of church offices is the main cause of the problem, it is necessary and edifying for Korean Presbyterian Churches to reflect on and learn from Calvin's theology and practice.
