Interestingly, in Korea, Presbyterians make up the majority, 70% of all members of the Protestant church, but in the United States, they are a minority denomination. According to statistics from 10 years ago, Protestant churches in the United States have more members than Presbyterians, such as Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, and Mormons (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), who are classified as heresy. in Corea. In terms of the religious population as a whole, Catholics, mainly from Italy and Ireland, and Hispanics, have the most members. The fact that the Presbyterian Church, which is a small number of Protestants in the United States, has become the largest denomination in Korea, means that 130 years ago, the Presbyterian Church in the United States had great missionary enthusiasm and achieved great results in Korea. So why did the Presbyterian Church become so differentiated after coming to Korea? There are many causes, but in the Protestant world, the norm is that “social and political causes are greater than differences in doctrine.”

In the WCC, there was also an Orthodox church in the eastern region, and there was disagreement on the theory of support for the communist regime and the ecumenical movement (church unity movement). It would have been a delicate problem considering the time of the Korean War, less than 10 years ago. As a result, the denomination was divided into the ‘let’s join’ side and the ‘we don’t join’ side to join the courtyard. Each of the two denominations has about 3 million members, which represents more than half of the members of the Korean Protestant church (statistics from the Korean Federation of Churches). However, in the religious world, it is called the “joint side” and the “integrated side” to distinguish it. The two denominations are equally 105 times in the General Assembly this year. Chongshin University and the Presbyterian Society (Jangshin University) are the representative pastors training organizations for the joint integration of artisans and artisans. The representative churches of the Yejang integration are Saemoonan Church, Youngnak Church and Myungseong Church, and the representative churches of Yejang are Chunghyeon Church, Sarang Church and Sae-Eden Church.

Pastor Bang felt sorry that the Presbyterian Church split into various denominations while he was leaving Korea. / Chosun Ilbo’s DB In the United States, the Presbyterian Church moved to Korea Some Presbyterian denominations broke away earlier.

Pastor Kim Jae-joon, Moon Ik-hwan, and Kang Won-yong are among the pastors of the Gijang denomination. Sohn Bong-ho, a former professor at Seoul National University who emphasizes the strict Protestant ethic, is an elder of the Kosin Church. By dividing the spectrum on the basis of conservative progression, Presbyterian denominations generally consider the Kosin denomination to be the most conservative and progressive in the order of joint court, united court, and captain. Currently, it is known that there are about 100 Presbyterian denominations in the Korean Protestant world. The exact number is not well known even in religious circles. Church members often do not know what denomination the church they attend is affiliated with. In fact, it is not the denomination that matters, it is more important how it plays the role of salt and light in society. The morning of September 16, 2020. Hansoo Kim uploaded.
