[통합적연구] 특집 : 한국교회가정에 대한 목회상담학적 분석과 접근

This study aims to analyze the situation and problems of the Korean Church Family and to propose some directions of the Christian Family Ministry, in a perspective of Pastoral Counseling. Due to a drastic and sudden social change, the Korean Family has been in the face of holistic crisis and the Korean Church Family has been no exception. With all its privileges and responsibilities, it seems that the Korean Church Family has been loosing its vivid and unique color. With the advent of industrial and postmodern society, nuclear family system, relative value system and achievement-oriented materialism have weakened the emotional support basis among the members of the Korean Church Family as well as the non-Christian Family. As a result, pathological phenomenons such as divorce, depression, suicide, family violence and even homosexuality have been easily founded amongst the Korean Church Family. In order to providing some directions of the Christian Family Ministry in a view point of Pastoral Counseling, this study attempts to propose renewing the paradigm of ministers for the Church Family ministry, establishing a biblical view of family, transition towards holistic healing and a balanced approach to meet the emotional need of the members of the Church Family. This study stresses the importance of the God-oriented Christian Family Ministry, while pointing out dangers of the man-oriented Christian Family Ministry focusing only on the selfish happiness of family neglect of the glory of God.
