초록

This study reflects on Worship Dance from a historical viewpoint as well as the aspect of systematic theology. It suggests the actual process of embodied worship so that it can be put into practice in churches. In other words, it is to create the teaching‐learning methods for embodied worship and to search for the specific process of embodied worship.
As shown in the worship of the Israelites in the Old Testament as well as in Christian worship, dancing in worship, though it varied over time, has been a channel to express their gratitude, joy, and praise to God. They made their worship to God holistic by using their bodies, minds, and souls altogether, without the alienation of their bodies. It represented collective and historic experiences of a community rather than the showing of individualities. In short, dancing was a way of worship by Christian communities as well as the Israelites through which they confessed their faith in God, stated their history, and expressed their lives.
The teaching‐learning process of embodied worship is achieved through informal educational methods as well as creative and esthetic educational methods. When Christian education is conducted through these methods, a learner's body becomes activated, the soul and the body of the learner kept in harmony and thereby their faith and spirituality reaching a full maturity. Currently, we live in a period that calls us to keep our mind, feelings, spirituality, and bodies balanced in every aspect of religion, education and daily lives as well. Christians are especially demanded to carry out our holy mission, which means to fulfill it through the movement of our bodies creatively and with holistic traits endowed upon us by God. Prayers and praise through embodied worship can be our response to the demands of this era.
