ABSTRACT

First, this article reflects on the appearance of Korean Protestantism, which has fallen into the object of vigilance and hatred by many people as it passes through the COVID-19 crisis. This study finds the cause of these problems in the citizenship of Korean Protestants and proposes the ethics of becoming a sympathetic citizen as a solution. This study presents a way to realize ‘becoming a sympathetic citizen’ with the key words’ empathy,’ ‘citizen,’ and ‘ethics of becoming’ from a Christian ethical perspective. To this end, this study examines the meaning of empathy as a civic virtue. It examines the possibility of ‘ethics of becoming’ through Haraway’s’ reason for becoming,’ ‘to be with the trouble.’ At the same time, while attempting Christian ethical reasoning to ‘become a sympathetic citizen,’ I examined the meaning of Jesus’ incarnation and Jesus’ teaching on ‘becoming’ through the likeness of the Good Samaritan. Finally, this study attempts to reflect on Christian ethics to ‘become a citizen with sympathy as a Christian’ while examining the possibility of practicing ‘enemy love’ through the practice of the golden rule in the sermon in Luke chapter 6.
