Theological Background of the Division of Korean Church (11)
thought beyond the dimension of personal, partial confrontation. It
has cracked the domain of the theology of Korean Church. 38)
With the background of the confrontation of thought, The General
Assembly of Presbyterian Church in 1924 and 1935 had been faced
with danger of the theological division. At that time, the theolo-
gical confrontation had been aggravated so serious that at least
several commentators, missionaries suggested the impendency of the
Church division. 39)
As stated above, the Local schism as the South
faction and the North faction has entered on the theological confr-
ontation so called the Conservative and the Liberalism. And then,
as soon as the Liberalism revealed its true colors the 23th General
Assembly held in 1934 turned into theological debate. So the alarm
bell of the Korean Church division had been ringing.
From this time,
the theological debate has spread over the whole Church, and so had
a bad effect on the Korean Church to be divided. The problems in the
Church at that time were the authorship of Genesis, women's rights,
the Abingdon Bible Commentary, the Christian Times and so on. 40)
Particularly the problem of the Abingdon Bible Commentary had been
formally presented by the Conservatives in 24th Presbyterian General
Assembly of Chosun held at the Pyong Yang Seo Moon Bak Church on
September 1935. 41)
(2) THE THREE SCHISMS OF THE CHURCH
There were three times in Korean Church division from 1930's to
1950's. This was a big event of the Korean Church History. The first
of many schisms from hthe Presbyterian Church of Korea took place in
1938, although the situation became much more serious after World
War H. A conservative split appeared in 1946 which resulted in the
establishment of the Koryo Presbyterian Curch, followed by a much
larger conservative split in 1951 which formed the Presbyterian Chu-
ch in Korea(Reunited Anti-Ecumenical),and later in 1954 by a liberal
split to organize the Presbyterian Church in the ROK. Methodists have
also had their problems with schisms: but except for a few small
groups, they were reunited by 1959. 42)
