Ganghwa Anglican Church

The Background for establishment of Ganghwa Anglican Curch

The history of the Anglican Church began in 1889 when Mr. Koff was awarded the teaching position as the first Korean bishop. At that time, there was not a single believer in korea. It was in Ganghwa on June 13, 1896 where Koreans were first baptized. With such a background, the Anglican Church of Korea was the first to build a church in Ganghwa. Therefore, Ganghwa Anglican Cathedral history is old, and it is the oldest existing Hanok church building in Korea It was constructed with a bold combination of Western European style of Basilica and Oriental Buddhist temple style. The interior space of the church followed the pattern of the Basilica, while the exterior and outer space followed the pattern of Buddhist temples. A royal carpenter who participated in the construction of Gyeongbok Palace was in charge of the construction. The Anglican Church in Ganghwa not only shows the will of the early missionaries to naturalize themselves with the local culture but also provides a glimpse of the history of Korean Christianity.
