ABSTRACT

In this paper, with recognizing the necessity that the church should participate in the village community movement, it examines the current situation and significance of the motion that churches should participate in the movement. This paper also addresses some of the hinder faced by the village communities as well as providing alternative solutions to this dilemma.This study suggests solutions regarding this dilemma. Firstly, in order to over- come harsh economic standards set by Neo-liberalism, villagers should engage in initiative independent economic activities. Secondly, this village community movement drives community solidarity by reinforcing community spirit and motivation. Third, the village community movement makes community stand firm by reinforcing autonomous capability and the community spirit. Therefore, the participation of the church toward the movement is a new ministry which can revive and give strength to the local community as an effective method that reveals the church’s public responsibility. Moreover, village gentrification promotes healthier and stable relationships among villages. In order to achieve this, community rights should also be kept and guaranteed at all times. Additionally, they must become economically and socially independent to achieve a healthy and sustainable community led by politically trained volunteers. To achieve sustainable village community, the resident should voluntarily participates and leader group is well trained, and they should build a cooperative system of Inhabitants Initiative.
