The theory of critical pedagogy based upon a feminist perspective encourages women to confront with their current situation, past and the future both in the private and public lives. It challenges women to animate themselves and change society and the individual rather than to maintain the status quo. In this article, I have insisted the importance of proper education empowering women in the church with some points. Firstly, I explained the educational programs that provoke women’s sense of subjectivity and self knowledge. Programs are inspired by scholars of the critical pedagogy and have been practiced with women in the church. Secondly, I have tried to make a dialogue between the critical theory of education and experience of workshop group which is formed with women. I have utilized the theories of Maria Harris, Paulo Freire, and bell hooks in this process. Christian Women have shown four stages which are hesitation, awakening, expulsion of myth, and hope as the process of transformation and liberation. Beyond the individual limitation as a woman and social discrimination from the patriarchal culture, the Christian women realize the responsibility that God has given to them through the educational support in the church. The process of liberation is fulfilled by the way of critical thinking and reflection which is a fruit of the critical pedagogy

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
