AB - The excessive growth centeredness of Korean church has pushed many young pastors to plant new churches and it has caused the serious financial and numerical polarization of church since the 1990s. This trend of church planting has made pastors start new churches without any appropriate measures for survival.
Almost of them have failed to manage their churches financially independent, so, they have closed the churches inevitably. The social distrust of Korean church has expended seriously due to the result of this phenomenon. More seriously, the majority of Korean churches and church leaders are still focusing on the church growth and clericalism as they are ignoring the voices for the reformation of the church. Therefore, this article seeks to find a way to overcome this financial issue of Korean Church through the thoughts of Weber. First, this research looks around the current financial issues of Korean Church. Second, it delves into how the current financial issue of Korean Church in this capitalistic society opposes the idea of Weber’s spirit of capitalism and worldly asceticism. Finally, this paper proposes a social ethical solution for this financial issue of Korean Church as concentrating on Weber’s ascetic spirit of capitalism and his ideas of reasonable capital management.
