초록

In the present, all mankind of the World have experienced global
immigrations and at the same time, the wave of multiculturalism.
it produces ‘glocal period’. The active promotions of World religions
are influencing on the life of not only Christians but also the others
in all societies through migrant cultures. Accordingly, it leads the
class distinction of society and the delicate tension and conflicts of
religions between. Therefore, the World Mission of Christianity is
unstable in the aspect of strategy and fields, apart from the missions
of the 20th century. Coming in the 21st century, the World is in
the situation of ‘two hundreds milions nomads’ for new migrants.
In this point, it comes the actual state of ‘multiculture’ which mixes
both religions and culture, and then reveals social issues. By this,
European societies and the U.S. society have been shocked by the
social chaos of multicutural scandals. So, they are trying to use the
political methods and activities.
In the case of Korean society, the number of migrants were over
one million in August, 2007. this number is 2%(100,254) of Korean
population (49,130,000). It presents that 15% increases more than the number of migrants in 2006 and 158% increases more than
1997. Furthermore, the international marriage of Korea is forty
thousands in 2005 and it means 13.6% of whole marriage in Korea.
Also, we can consider rate of Korean residents from the Communist
orbit; Korean-Chinese and Saetomin (New settlers from North
Korea). The rate of Korean-Chinese is 43% of migrants living in
Korea and the number of Saetomin is over ten thousands in 2007.
In Korean society, there is 347 NGOs for migrant workers and
multicultural family. 27.8% among them has religious background;
Protestants(63)- Islam(15)- Catholics(9)- Buddhism(7). They are very
active in their own fields. However, Christian leaders of the NGOs
can not show their own religion in their activities because the Korean
government has anti-religious attitude and non Christian religions
roughly attack to the Christian mission. In this situation, the
federation of Korean Churches gave us a hope for mission. The
federations (like KNCC, CCK, etc) have enterprised social
evangelistic projects for migrant workers and multicultural families
since 2007. Nevertheless, these are firstly very event-centred,
intending to present visual contributions and secondly, they are very
withering in the direct evangelistic works, overreacting the
circumstance of ‘multiculture’.
Therefore, the author would like to suggest the following; firstly,
Christian missions must approach non Christian religions by the
perspective of not religious dialogue but intercultural understanding.
Secondly, to help for the survivals of migrants and conquests of social
discrimination in Korean society, Korean churches have to support
their settlement by their own ways and spontaneously, encourage them to establish not only their own identity in Korean society but
also Christian identity based on their culture. Finally, Korean
churches should transfer national churches to multicutural churches
for ‘multicultural living-together and mission of international
comprehension’.
