A Research presentation on Korean Christian History and Culture Centre

A Research presentation on Korean

Christian History and Culture Centre

The NCCK is preparing the construction of a

centre dedicated to Korean Christian history and

culture to preserve the Christian cultural assets

of Korea. Research has been carried out for the

past year, and a presentation was made to the

NCCK membership on Feb. 15, entitled “History is

the Future which was Conceived in the Past.”

The History and Culture Center Committee have

established a number of goals for the Center.

1. While it will primarily be a benefit to historians

and academics, who will take advantage of the

archive and online archive service, it will also

mean that information on Korean Christianity will

be readily accessible to even members of the

general public, church members, students,

genealogists, etc.

2. A Christian History Network will be set up to

preserve historical records and cultural assets

from across the country, and which will be

accessible from anywhere in the country.

3. A History Tour Program will be established to

engage and educate the public about Korea’s

vital and interesting Christian history and

culture. This program will provide an opportunity

for the church and the local community to have

closer ties, and will ensure the stories and

lessons of the past will not be lost.

4. Finally, the Committee envisions and expects a

revival of the ecumenical movement, as churches

have the opportunity to share their history and

culture with each other in this Korean

Christian History and Culture Centre.

We pray for a fruitful conclusion to this matter in the love of the God of history.
