At the offices of NCCK on October 20th, the Christian Institute for the Study of Justice and Development (CISJD) hosted, in cooperation with the National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK), the first of a three-part series of presentations on the relevance of the Busan WCC Assembly of 2013 for the Korean Church. The CISJD hopes that this series will help to make the documents released by the WCC accessible for preachers in the pulpit.   These presentations will seek to interpret the theology and discussions of the WCC in a way that can be shared with people in the pews. This first session featured four papers by four theologians and another four theologians in response to each of those papers.   The first paper from Professor Chul, Jeon of Hanshin University addressed the subject of Christian Unity among Korean Christians since the time of the Busan Assembly. Reconciling divisions among the churches of the world has been a focus of the WCC from the time of its inception, and Professor Jeon offered suggestions for how Korean Christians can participate in this work. The next paper addressed the issue of Korean Christians engaging and living in a multi-faith society, submitted by Dr. Tae Kwan, Choi of Methodist Theological University.   After the break, the symposium heard papers from Dr. Jae Hyung Park of Hanshin University and Dr. Choong Hyun Paek of Jangshin (Presbyterian) University. Dr. Park discussed the concept of the Church as the Body of Christ, and the requisite need for a disposition toward social issues. Dr. Paek explored the significance of Trinitarian theology and how it relates to the Church’s task of working for life, justice, and peace; which harkens back to the stated theme of the Busan Assembly: “God of Life, Lead Us into Justice and Peace.”   The second session in this series will be held on November 17th at the CISJD building in Ijae Hall. The third and final session will be held on December 15th back in the Korean Christian Building 2nd floor auditorium.
