Public dialogue between Church and Others through a communicative mode of madanggŭk : A practical theological perspective
The privatized and ghettoized church behind the wall is confronted by a dual crisis - an internal crisis of identity and an external crisis of relevance. Therefore, to shape a dialogic relationship through public dialogue is an essential task of the public church, the so-called "go-to-all" church.
To execute "public dialogue" as the commission to the 'go-to-all" three actions are necessary: (1) going outside the wall of the church, (2) entering into dialogue with the "all," and (3) making disciples, baptizing, and teaching the all. How will the church dialogue with the other? In view of these three actions, this article researches three main elements of public dialogue - (1) a place / field for public dialogue, (2) a new communicative pattern for public dialogue, and (3) a medium for public dialogue.
This article concerns an art-cultural pattern of public dialogue, particularly madanggk. Mandanggk is a compound noun: madang (open place) + k (theatre). Mandanggk contains the three elements for public dialogue - (1) place, (2) a medium, and (3) communicative principles for public dialogue.
