국문 초록

본 연구는 입교교육에서 교회의 교육적 사명을 강하게 인식하는 독일의 교회와 교회학교 외에는 달리 대안을 모르는 한국교회의 교육구조를 비교, 기술하였다. 여기서 도출되어진 결론은 청소년을 위한 교육에 있어서 입교와 입교교육이 갖는 교육적 가치와 가능성이 매우 크다는 것이다. 이제 한국교회는 다음 세대로의 신앙계승이라는 중대한 과제 앞에 서 있으며, 이러한 과제를 가장 효과적으로 수행할 새로운 교육의 장과 방법을 모색해야 한다. 이러한 목적에 가장 부합하는 교육의 장과 방법을 한국교회는 서구의 교회가 전통적으로 중요하게 여겨온 교육체제, 즉 입교교육에서 발견할 수 있을 것이다. 한국 개신교 교회는 그들의 주목하였던 입교의 교육적 의미는 간과하고 예식으로서의 입교형식만을 간신히 유지, 보존해 오고 있다. 이것은 입교의 교육적인, 그리고 예전적인 의미와 가능성을 제대로 자각하지 못한 탓이다. 따라서 한국교회는 이 교육적이며 예전적인 가치와 가능성에 주목할 수 있어야 한다.

영문 초록

Although confirmation in the Korea? protestant churches is regarded as one of the important church ceremonies, the meaning or value of its existence is vague. The religious reformists only recognized baptism and eucharist among the 7 holy ceremonies that have been held by Roman Catholic Church. However, they did not deny educational significance and value of confirmation. They actually viewed confirmation as very important and valuable in terms of education to be constantly carried out by church, unless the confirmation is not misunderstood as a holy ceremony. The Korean protestant churches in Korea, however, have managed to maintain the formality of confirmation as a ceremony, overlooking the educational significance of confirmation. Such a confirmation issue is one of the major tasks to be tackled by the Korean protestant churches. As a first step to resolve the task, a historical investigation on the origin and development of confirmation has been attempted in this study. If a debate on the confirmation issue is to be properly carried out, how the current confirmation ceremony has been shaped, namely the historical root of the confirmation issue should be explicitly revealed. Subsequently, the educational structure of Korean churches that do not see any alternative other than the German churches, which make a great effort to resolve an important task of churches to hand over faith to the next generation, and the educational system of church school is comparatively described. Through such comparative study, we can draw a lesson that the confirmation, which has never been noticed by the Korean churches, not only in the ceremonial aspect but also from the educational perspective, can be the field of huge opportunity in education for youth. That is, through the study, educational possibility of confirmation education can be noticed. The situations of life have been expanded along with history, in line with which, the educational scope and methods have been expanded and deepened as well. The church education should expand and deepen the understanding on the educational field in the future. The reason is because the awareness of educational field change becomes the outlook of education towards the future. The Korean churches stand in front of a pivotal task to hand over faith to the next generation, and they need to pursue new educational field and methods to most effectively conduct such a task. The Korean churches may find the educational field and methods that can be most suitable to such a purpose from the educational system, which has been traditionally regarded important by the Western churches, namely from the confirmation education.
