불은 물질이 산소와 화합하여 연소하는 물리적 현상이지만 신앙적 믿음과 종교적 의례에서는 다양하게 상징화되어 문화적 암호로 쓰여온지 오래다. 그래서 불은 인간사에서 어느 것보다도 중요한 구실을 해 왔으며 오늘날 현대인들이 누리고 있는 온갖 문명도 불이 있기에 가능한 것이다. 그러나 현대인의 관념에서는 불에 대한 존엄성이 점차적으로 희박해지고 있는 게 사실이다. 그렇지만 종교 신앙적 측면에서는 아직도 불은 그 어느 것보다도 중요하게 다루어지고 있다. 특히 무속신앙과 가신신앙에서는 불에 대한 관념이 명확할 뿐만 아니라 불에 대한 활용도 옛 법에 따라 적절하게 대응하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 글에서는 무속신앙에서 불신(조왕신)이 어떠한 구실을 하고 있는지, 그리고 불이 마을신으로 모셔지는 경위는 어떠한 것인지와 더불어 가신신앙에서의 조왕그릇과 조왕동토부에 대해 알아 보고자 한다.

이 글은 미얀마의 고대 도시에서 축조된 방어장벽의 건축물에 나타나는 신앙문화에 관한 연구이며, 여러 고대 도시, 특히 쀼족(Pyu)의 도시였던 베잇따노(Beikthano), 하링(Halin), 떠예킷떠야(Thayehkittaya, Srikshetra) 등지에서 발굴된 유물, 유적을 분석하였다. 이와 함께, 미얀마의 고대 도시에 형성된 전통적 신앙세계를 해명하는데 중점을 두고자 한다. 미얀마에서는 성문, 성벽, 요새, 또는 파고다를 건축할 때에 신앙적 요소가 반드시 개입되었다. 건축물의 축조 토지의 선택에 있어서나 건축물 용도에 따른 재앙의 예방의 목적을 구현하기 위하여 신앙체계가 적용되었다. 특히, 방어 장벽(예를 들어, 성벽, 성문 등)에서 나타나는 불교경전이나 쇠못이 박힌 철판 및 각종 힌두신과 낫(정령)의 조상(彫像)은 그러한 신앙적 차원에서 도입되었던 것이다. 결론적으로 미얀마의 고대 도시에 있어서 방어 장벽의 구조물에서도 전통신앙과 힌두교 및 불교가 혼합된 신앙체계가 엿보이며, 나아가 쀼 왕국에 형성된 여러 고대 도시에서 서로 유사한 물질문화와 신앙체계가 널리 존재하고 있음이 밝혀졌다.

In today's family, it can be said that children's faith education is in a very difficult time. Moreover, faith education at home is urgently required during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as society changes rapidly, families are also changing rapidly. As the current society became diversified and personalized, the family lost its educational function. In other words, it can be immediately said that faith education in Christian families has collapsed. The reason is that the problem of faith education in today's family lies in poor communication. Communication problems are becoming difficult for parents and children due to changes in values caused by individualism and capitalism, and as the difference between values and the generation of children widens. In addition, disconnection of dialogue at home due to the disconnection of culture between generations is an obstacle to faith education. It is urgent to restore the educational function of Christian families. When parents provide Christian faith education to their children, their children can grow up properly. Communication with children is desperately needed to restore the purpose and function of faith education at home. Communication between parents and children is an important factor influencing children's motivation for religious education. Parents and children's communication must be open and positive parenting attitudes need to be sufficiently motivated for faith education. In order to solve the immediate problem of the absence of faith education at home, an alternative will be proposed to restore faith education through communication between parents and children. First, the necessity of faith education at home will be discussed. Then communication at the beginning of faith education will be considered. And third, communication and methods at home to implement faith education will be presented. This study will serve as an opportunity to provide clues to restore and implement faith education in Christian families.

In this study, a mixed research method that collects and analyzes qualitative and quantitative data together was used to broaden the understanding of young children's faith. First of all, the contents of interviews with 18 research participants were divided into categories, and the frequency of each category was calculated. From 75 statements made in the interview, the importance of each was evaluated with a 5-point Likert scale. The means and standard deviations of the evaluation score were calculated, and sub-factors were identified through exploratory factor analysis. The frequency of categories mentioned in the qualitative interview was in the following order: faith manifested in difficulties, religious activities, Christian education at home, Christian education in the church, love and faith in God, and the formation of a Christian worldview (identity). The statement on the perception of God, theological concepts, religious activities, and Christian education at home and in the church received high scores. On the other hand, statements on developmentally difficult or abstract content, value judgment or conflict resolution based on the Word, and evangelism showed low scores. The sub-factors extracted through factor analysis were faith education through home and church, awareness of God and religious activities, identity based on the gospel, character based on the gospel, and overcoming a crisis through faith. In conclusion, the results of each of the mixed methods of looking at young children's faith were very similar-relationships with God, religious activities, Christian worldview (identity), Christian education at home and church were highlighted, even though various methods were used. This study is meaningful in that it suggests what and how to teach in early childhood Christian education.

본 논문은 『전경』에서는 나타나는 숫자 부호 '삼(三)'의 의미와 나아가 '삼'과 『주역』 그리고 도교 신선신앙과의 연관성을 살펴보고자 한다. 중화의 문화에는 예부터 '삼'을 숭상하는 풍속이 있고, 도교문화도 '삼'을 숭상한다. 이는 주로 『주역』, 『도덕경』 및 도교 신선신앙과 관련이 있다. 한국문화는 전체적으로 중국문화의 영향을 깊이 받았다. 대순진리회 또한 이러한 배경 하에 있다고 볼 수 있다. 대순진리회에서는 '삼' 이라는 숫자를 반복해 사용하고 있는데, 어떤 의미에서 이것은 『주역』에 나타나는 부호 상징 사유의 확장된 표현이라 할 것이다. 또한 대순진리회의 교의(敎義)와 부도(符圖)에서도 '삼을 숭배하는(尙三)' 도교 신선신앙의 특징이 나타나고 있다. 그러므로 대순진리회에서 볼 수 있는 '삼'의 의미는 도교의 영향을 받은 것일 가능성이 매우 크다. 이렇게 말하는 것에는 두 가지 이유가 있는데 그 중 하나는 앞서 말한 바와 같이 대순진리회의 상제와 종도들이 중국의 서적을 이해하고 중시했기 때문이며 대순진리회의 구천상제께서 많은 종교를 통섭하였기 때문이다. 공사(公事) 활동, 부주(符呪) 문건, 상제와 도주의 행적 사료, 신령신앙 등의 내용 곳곳에서 '삼'이라는 특별한 숫자에 대한 각별한 관심이 구체적으로 드러난다. 이러한 '삼'은 생명과 시작을 나타내며 또한 완성과 완결을 의미한다. 대순진리회 신앙의 특징을 보면 그 배후에는 아주 깊은 중국문화의 영향이 있으며, 『주역』사상의 구체적인 표현이고, 도교신선신앙의 흔적이기도 하다. 물론 대순진리회는 자신만의 독창적이 재해석으로 이러한 문화나 사상을 계승하고 발전시켰다. 그렇기 때문에 '삼'이라는 숫자의 근원을 탐구하고, '삼'이 지니고 있는 철학적 사상을 파헤쳐 그 속의 오묘함을 발견한다면 대순사상의 깊을 뜻을 이해하는데 더 큰 도움이 될 것이다.

Community beliefs of the coastal villages in Gochang are cultural activities and rituals manifesting the hopes and spiritual worlds of the locals who live off the sea and tidal mud. Along with their societal functions wishing for peace, maritime safety, and good catches, the values of the Jwajeongdam (How god came to be), Yuraedam (History of worshipping), and Yeongheomdam (Stories of miracles), as living heritage need to be reexamined according to the recent Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. The community beliefs of the coastal villages in Gochang, where outstanding universal intangible and tangible values coexist, have been perpetually transmitted in interactions with tidal mud and the ecological environments of the sea. They reinforce the "Outstanding Universal Value" UNESCO mentions and sustainability that connects the past, present, and future. Furthermore, a coastal area is endowed with international accessibility over regionality. Hence the community beliefs are charged with eco-cultural values, which its preservation and promotion should also focus on to provide policies and protection activities. In short, the tidal mud and community beliefs of coastal villages in Gochang, which according to the concept of UNESCO's "mixed heritage," meet the values for natural, cultural, and intangible heritage at the same time, and so must be approached not in the scope of points or lines, but also in surfaces when arranging protection initiatives.

과학과 신앙은 어떤 상관관계가 있는가. 신앙과 과학은 서로 반목관계에도 불구하고 양자는 모두 윤리라고 하는 부문에 이르러서는 휴전상태를 이루어왔다. 실제로 우리의 과학함은 나름대로의 패러다임, 즉 신앙에서 비롯되는 것이며 그것은 곧 과학자의 윤리성과 직결되는 것이다.
