First of all, it seems very good condition for orthodox mission. Because korea tries to take a system of globalization. Now, Korean meet not only american and japan but also russian and chinese. In fact korean people like russian and have curiosites about orthodox.
Geographically korea penisula is the path to china land and east russia. If there are many orthodox churches in korea, we can mission into china and east russia effectively. But there are not enough priests of orthdox in Korea. Personally I guess that it is the very need to construct an orthodox education system in korea.
As a reult of the regret of Pope to greek patriarch, many korean peoples knew that orthodox church is different from Roman catholic. They said 'before reformation(Luther,calvin,etc.)there are many orthodox churches in the world already!'
It is the most important to consturct orthodox educatin system and make many priests in korea. It is the first step of the Orthodox mission in Korea. |
