ABSTRACT

Established after a fierce debate among missionaries, C.C.C stipulated and practiced ‘Christian principles’ as the basic principle of school management. Kang Seong-Gab, whom H. H. Underwood recognized as the “greatest talent produced by Yunheui,” was a representative figure who practiced C.C.C’s ‘Christian principles.’ He led the Christian social movement to create a new country where everyone was happy in Jinyeong-eup, Gimhae-gun, and Gyeongsangnam-do, During the Post-Liberation Period (1945∼1950). Since the creative transformation of humanity, which is a self-centered being, is possible only through faith in God, he advocated and practiced ‘National belief’ to reform the consciousness of the people of the new nation liberated from Japanese rule. His practice is an essential example of the ‘Christian principles’ pursued by C.C.C. and is a meaningful historical lesson for Korean Christianity today, which has lost the trust of society.
