ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to identify ethical implications by analyzing messages delivered at the Summer Conference in August of 1927. First, The fact that Christians actively implemented community training programs in the oppressive circumstances during the period of Japanese colonial rule in Korea holds historically significant meaning. Second, the arguments advanced by the lecturers at the Haryeonghoe need to be analyzed in consideration of the circumstances in which Japanese oppression was intensifying in various areas, including political, economic, and social contexts. The Christian ethical perspective revealed in journal exhibited the limitation of remaining confined to individual ethical progress and spiritual sanctification, failing to encompass structural transformation of society and culture. Third, the faith community enabled Korean Christianity to consistently hold events such as Haryeonghoe and use them as opportunities for the cultivation of faith training, placing emphasis on community life and training even during the oppressive circumstances of the period of Japanese cultural policy from the 1920s to the 1930s.
