The purpose of this study is to think of some matter we need to consider when we pursue justice in our mission. In these days our society is deeply interested in the issue of justice. We can find out a sign of the deep concern about justice when we see the book titled Justice written by Michael J. Sandel, a professor of Harvard University, is so popular in our society. This issue of justice is also crucial in Christianity. In particular, World Council of Churches has had a deep concern about this theme. So one major goal of mission in ecumenical wing is justice, not saving souls as in the traditional view of the goal of mission.
This paper tried to find out why the ecumenical mission came to consider ‘justice' as a major goal of mission instead of ‘saving souls’ a traditional one. They were Marxism and liberation theology, a new understanding of God, and a new view of salvation. Basically, mission is an activity of transferring salvation to the world. In the past, the meaning of salvation was considered largely in the dimension of souls and heaven. But in the ecumenical view, salvation is understood largely in the dimension of this world and achieving justified society. With this change, WCC came to consider justice as a major goal of mission.
Then this paper investigated the major areas of justice in ecumenical theology. The concern of justice appeared largely in the area of economy, human right, and international relationship. Finally, this study suggested some matters that should be carefully considered when we pursue justice in our mission. They were following: First, since the issue of justice is such a big issue that even UN or a nation cannot achieve it easily, this issue can be beyond the capacity of the church, so the church always consider this matter checking whether the church is consuming its energy too much on justice instead of saving souls. Secondly, it is necessary to consider a possibility of declination when the church, which is already in the stage of declination, consumes its energy to too much varied works. Thirdly, we need to think whether a country full of justice is truly the kingdom of God or not if there is no concern about God and the church. Above are the matters we need to deeply consider when we pursue justice in our mission.
