ABSTRACT

What’s the task of church in these times? Christian social ethics of Reinhold Niebuhr and public theology of M. Stackhouse told that the social concern for social policy and are the answers. On the contrary, S. Hauerwas proposes ‘ecclesial ethics’ which emphasize ‘the task of being church of church.’ Hauerwas says his ethical ideas as these:(1) the recovery of the importance of the virtues for the understanding Christian life, (2) an emphasis on narrative for the intelligibility of an action description,(3) a correlative emphasis on the significance of the church as a community necessary for the formation of the people of virtue, (4) criticism of the accommodation of the church to liberal political arrangement, and (5) an emphasis on the significance of nonviolence as a hallmark of the Christian way of being in the world. Now, the focuses of this paper are as these: (1) Hauerwas’ argument is not sectarian withdrawal but a new agenda for Christian social ethics which must to be added to Niebuhrian perspective in Korean context of Christian social ethics. (2) the genuine problem which must to discuss is how to train for moral mature according to Hauerwas’ narrative morality in church. Anyway, the most important task is let church be church in Korea.
