A Study on Types of Christianity’s Public Participation and Theological ‘Common Ground’ of the Participation

Lee, Chang-Ho

The church is ‘public’ by nature. Its public nature can and should be realized through its participation in the public realm. If the church’s public participation is an ethical mandate, what is it like and on what grounds should it be justified? Given that there have been various types of the participation in history, can we find certain theological ‘common ground’ which is conducive to enriching the public participation of the Christian churches? The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, I will propose four ideal types of public participation, highlighting classic and contemporary theologians representing each type and justifying the types theologically. They include ‘socio-cultural public transformation’ type(Augustine and Reinhold Niebuhr), ‘ethical universalization’ type(Aquinas and Albrecht Ritschl), ‘embodiment of the body of Christ’ type(the Anabaptists and John H. Yoder), and ‘holistic orientation towards the common-good’ type(Calvin and Max Stackhouse). Second, I attempt to offer theological ‘common ground’ on which the types of public participation can learn and interact with each other, hoping that such attempt will produce a kind of ecumenical theology of public participation and strengthen theoretical and practical foundation of Christianity’s public participation.
