Anglicanism in Ganghwa

Anglicanism

Religious reformist Martin Luther and others influenced England in the 1520s, raising the movement for church reform in England. Even before the British Reformation of religion, a movement for church reform was being carried out. In particular, opposition to the Roman Catholic Church, which ruled England at that time, and the anti-clericalism movement were already taking place everywhere. Anglicanism was established against this background. The present great asset of the Anglicanism is the The Book of Common Prayer, that contains the Liturgy of the British Anglicanism. The Book of Common Prayer is still an important foundation for Anglican faith, worship, theology and spirituality, and is the basis of all the rituals of Anglican Church. Korea's Anglican Church of Korea uses a translated version of the book in Korean.

The Background for establishment of Ganghwa Anglican Curch

The history of the Ganghwa 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.

Jeondeungsa Temple

- Jeondeungsa (delivering illegal lanterns) (history) In response to Mongol invasion, the Goryeo royal family designated a temporary town on Ganghwado Island and built a palace. During that period, the construction of a house within the premises of Jeondeungsa Temple was inevitable to promote the safety of the king along with geomancy theory (1232) In the 46th year of King Gojong's reign (1259), Jinjongsa Temple was established during the Goguryeo Period and reappeared in history. According to Koryoosa, there is a record of 46 years of King Gojong's reign (1259), the king ordered the construction of a house in Samrangseong Fortress five years later (1264), and that "the king opened the Daepbulseong Fortress, a Buddhist event that repels all kinds of disasters in the country with Buddha's mercy." The royal family of Goryeo built a temporary house inside Samrangseong Fortress and reconstructed Jinjongsa. (1266). King Chungnyeol's in his 8th year (1282) changed the name of the temple and called it' Jeondeungsa'.The Goryeo royal family was deeply interested in Jeondeungsa Temple, and the according to the geomancy theory the terrains of jeongjok mountain has established itself as a very tranquil area. The geomancy theorists claim that,that if Manisan Mountain is a grandfather, then Jeongjok mountain is a grandmother, and that it embodies such strong energy of wellness that it can’t be damaged even during a war.

Tripitaka Koreana

In 1231, Mongolia invaded Korea, and the Choi administration moved its capital to Ganghwa to defend themselves from the Mongol invasion. During the war with Mongolia, the people of Ganghwa had internalised the idea that they had defeated the enemy with the power of Buddha by publishing first edition of the Tripitaka Koreana while the Kitan were invaded Korea. similarly, during the war with Mongolia, they published Tripitaka thinking that it will help them to beat Mongolia like the war with the Kitan. The value and prestige of the production of Tripitaka Koreana is shown in its purpose, which was published to defeat Mongolian army and to unify the commoner. The purpose of production is to overcome the invasion of Mongolia by the power of Buddhism. It contains the nobility of protecting the country.
