ABSTRACT

This paper examines the relationship between worship in Korean churches and ethical living. First, I explore the fundamental connection between worship and justice. The Bible indicates that worship is intrinsically linked to the pursuit of justice in the world. Christian worship should encompass the practice of justice in daily life. In this context, worship within the Korean church appears to have limited engagement with social justice issues. Therefore, the Korean church requires a renewal of its worship practices. The renewal of Korean church services reflects the trajectory of Korean Christians’ lives and the potential for justice. The indigenization of worship, a key aspect of this renewal, can cultivate a life rooted in justice and liberation. Furthermore, Korean church services require a balanced liturgy that integrates both preaching and communion. Through this approach, the Korean church can ultimately progress toward an ethical life that actively pursues social justice.
