ABSTRACT

There are so many cynical views on ‘ecclesial ethics’ or ‘ethics of being church’ of Stanley Hauerwas. Especially two sorts of critic are remarkable: The theological critic is ‘sectarian’ or ‘autistic’ element of ecclesial ethics. And the practical cynicism is an ‘anti-reformation’ nature implied in the ethics of being church. In other to overcome these. This paper seeks for Korean reading on the ecclesial ethics of Hauerwas as follows; 1) The balanced reading between critics and merits of the ecclesial ethis. In fact, the ‘sectarian withdrawal’ is one of the problematic debates. But there are so many merits in ecclesial ethics. For example, Hauerwas highlights that sanctification must be understood in ecclesial context. 2) The korean reflection on being church: Hauerwas urges Christian moral ideal is not Kantian project but being Christian as the witness of Jesus narrative. In this context, Korea church has some tradition of virtue. But, it needs to identify the sort of narrative which church should realize is not asian tradition but Jesus narrative. In other words, Korea church’s task for reformation is realizing the ethics of being church and being Christian according to Jesus narrative. Of course, there are some shortages in the ethics of being church in reformation of Korea church. For example, the privatization of faith have to be overcome through concerning the public theology of M. Stackhouse.
