Religion can affect on every day lives of individuals in society. Also, religion can affect on personal networks and the formation of a social culture that may lead to influence individual decision makers. Religion can influence values and ethics of people in society. However, according to the secularization hypothesis, as an economy becomes more efficient and the members of a society becomes more educated, the influence and control of religion over people tend to become diminished more. How is religion related with entrepreneurship? There are not so many empirical studies that examine relationship between religion and entrepreneurship. The purpose of this article is that we empirically examine how religious commitment, in addition to individual traits such as need for achievement, perceived creativity, problem solving ability and entrepreneurial parents or friends. Our study is based on survey sample of 229 college students in Korea. The results we found are as follows. First, religious commitment does not have effect on entrepreneurial intention. Also, religion commitment has no relationship with need for achievement, perceived creativity, problem solving ability, and entrepreneurial parents or friends. Second, consistent with previous studies, need for achievement and entrepreneurial parents or friends have meaningful effect on entrepreneurial intention. Third, perceived creativity is a full mediation variable between need for achievement and entrepreneurial intention.

When a urban religious cluster is transformed into a religious cultural town, it will help restore the urban community spirit and boost the social, cultural competence of a city. It can be achieved through the desirable values associated with love, service, reconciliation, and communication of each religion combined together. Also, it can facilitate urban regeneration and local revitalization. This study has established measures to stimulate Mokseong-dong in Andong City, an area with lots of religious, cultural facilities, by transforming it into a religious cultural town. The purpose is to play a key role in leading the regional education and culture and stimulating the area. To establish an identity of the religious, cultural town with multiple religions, a development concept was created under the theme of reconciliation, communication, and service. Specifically, a measure to reorganize the area into a space for reconciliation, communication, and service was created with an operation and stimulation program, focusing on the religious facilities. In addition, in order to transform the religious town into a hub of urban regeneration, measures to achieve the following were created: growing together with the surrounding area; establishing a cooperation system involving local residents; establishing an administrative, financial support system.

Stories have been studied as an important educational method in Christian education. In recent discussions on religious education, stories are positively evaluated in terms of stimulating children's unique fantasy, as opposed to visual media, and in terms of face-to-face direct communication. Our most profound and passionate orientation to the world is shaped by stories. This is because stories move us by moving us and shape our unconscious to act accordingly. However, the subjects that supply stories to children now are various mass media and consumer culture. The story it tells instills a secular worldview and makes us dream of a world completely different from the kingdom of God. Our children need a story to imagine the kingdom of God. This paper focuses on story-style sermons in children's worship and tries to deal with the Christian educational implications of story-style sermons. To this end, first of all, I would like to treat the Bible as a story according to the approximate concept of the story and the position of literary criticism who approached the Bible as a story. The second will deal with narrative preaching. First, we will look at narrative sermons for adults, and then deal with narrative sermons for children. The two narrative sermons were treated separately in the sense of considering the characteristics of children rather than being separated. Lastly, I would like to draw out the Christian educational implications of narrative preaching.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify hospice volunteers' perception of the death. Methods : This study was conducted with 327 adults who registered for the hospice volunteer education program in Severance Hospice Center from 1996 through 1999. The 4-years data was collected through a self-reporting questionnaire constructed and revised by the authors. The questionnaire was classified into 5 categories. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS/W. Results : 1) Hospice volunteers were mostly female(93.9%) with an average age of 48 years. The majority(82.6%) of the participants were Protestant. 2) From the 4-years data over 90 percent of participants thought of death as a process of life and responded positively to these three items : 'Death is a temporary separation from family', 'I will die in peace', 'Faith in God results in a freedom from fear of death'. 3) Age were statistically relevant to the following items: 'I often read the obituaries in the newspaper', 'Dying is a tragedy', and 6 items were significantly related to religion: 'I rarely think of dying unexpectedly', 'Death is a temporary separation from family'. 'Dying is a tragedy', 'We have to do our best to prolong life by use of modem medical technology', 'I feel comfortable thinking of death and dying, 'Faith in God results in a freedom from fear of death'. The finding that religiosity was related to perception of death is consistent with other reports. And $40{\sim}50$ year old Protestant women had more positive perception of death than $20{\sim}30$ year old women. Conclusion : The findings indicated an importance of considering the age and religiosity when we educate the hospice volunteers. And that will be a important basic-data to develope program for hospice volunteers.

본 연구는 한국의 학사과정에 등록한 간호학생의 정신질환에 대한 태도를 조사 연구하는데 주목적이 있고, 연구 결과에 의한 학생들의 태도와 학생들의 종교, 지역사회의 크기, 장래에 정신과 간호를 그들의 근무영역으로 삼을 것인가에 대한 관련도를 조사하는데 두번째의 목적이 있고, 세번째의 목적은 미국에서 발표된 정신질환에 대한 태도 연구와 본 연구의 결과에서 나타나는 한국 학생들과의 태도를 비교해 보는 데에 있겠다. 본 연구의 대상은 서울대학교 의과대학 간호학과 4학년생(1972년도) 이었으며, 미국과외 비교 연구를 위해서 Morris의 간호학생 태도 연구를 사용했다. 본 연구에 사용된 도구는 Cohen과 Straining이 발달시킨 51항으로 구성된 Opinions About Mental Illness (O.M.I) Scale이며, 학생들로부터 개인적인 자료를 얻기 위 해 4항이 더 첨 가되었다. 연구 결과를 보면 간호학생들의 정신질환에 대한 부정적인 태도가 보여졌다. 즉, 높은 권위의식 (요소, A)과 사회적 제한성 (요소, D)을 표현했고, 자비심 (요소, B)은 낮게 표현되었으니. 이는 정신질환에 대한 부정적인 태도를 보여주었다. 또한 본 연구에서 학생들의 종교와 졸업 후 정신과 간호 영역에서 근무할 취향이 O.M.I.에서 보여지는 태도면에 영향을 줌이 밝혀졌다. 즉 기독교인과 졸업 후 정신과간호원 지망생이 비 기독교인과 비 정신과간호원 지망생보다 정신질환에 대한 태도에 보다 긍정적인 반응을 보였다. 학생들이 살고있는 지역 사회의 크기와 O,M,I. 척도에서 보여지는 태도 면에 통계학적인 유의의 차이는 없었다. 본 연구의 결과로 보여진 정신질환에 대한 간호학생들의 부정적 인 태도는 간호교육의 단면적인 평가도 되겠지만 정신과 간호교육과정이나 다른 교육과정의 내용 면의 재 고려와 아울러 긍정적인 방향으로의 태도변화를 위해 보다 많은 연구가 필요하겠다.

This paper analyzes the relationship between death acceptance and religion using a national data set of 1,000 respondents. Death acceptance conceptually contrasts with death anxiety, but is recently preferred by death researchers due to its relatively neutral connotations. This research looks into the relationship between death acceptance and religion as most previous research thereon has been unable to suggest some definitive conclusion, using the LOWESS technique, path analysis, etc.. According to the result, the religious, women and the older are more death-accepting than the irreligious, men, and the younger respectively. Education forms a complex and curvy-linear relationship with death acceptance; at the level of graduate education and higher, the respondents get more death-accepting. By religion, Protestants turn out more death-accepting than Buddhists. Should this kind of research continue, the results may be applicable to determine optimal ways to approach the population with extreme attitudes towards death.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the correlation between the levels of spiritual well-being and spiritual nursing care of nurses for cancer patients and to provide baseline data for spiritual nursing care. Methods: In the study, there were 209 nurses involved who cared for cancer patients, and they were from Christian General Hospital in a city, Jeonju. Data were collected from September 17 to 30 in 2008 using structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using research methods, including descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The mean score of spiritual well-being of nurses was $63.41{\pm}10.32$ (range $20{\sim}80$) and that of spiritual nursing care was $26.96{\pm}7.05$ (range $15{\sim}60$). There was a significant positive correlation between the spiritual well-being of nurses and their spiritual nursing care (r=.353, P=.000). Conclusion: The spiritual well-being and spiritual nursing care have a positive correlation. The level of spiritual well-being of nurses was relatively significant, whereas that of spiritual nursing care was relatively low. Therefore, it is recommended, for spiritual nursing care that nurses responsible for cancer patients should pursue more spiritual growth, attend church services regularly, and should further be educated in their care and responsibility.

This study was conducted to find out the psychosocial-demographic factors affecting the ambivalent sexism and attitudes toward homosexuality of school health teachers. The data were collected from December 1^st to 31^st, 2019 by administering a structured online questionnaire for 138 school health teachers in S city. The data were analyzed via SPSS/WIN (25.0) to run Kruskal-Wallis 𝑥² test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's rank correlation, and Stepwise multiple regression. The results showed that the influential factors on the hostile sexism include authoritarian personality, age, extrinsic religious orientation, and education. Compared to this, the benevolent sexism had the influential factors of authoritarian personality, age, and education. The influential factors to the attitudes toward homosexuality found to include authoritarian personality, whether or not have a religion, and intrinsic/extrinsic religious orientation. School health teachers affect the educational experiences of students of their gender stereotyping and prejudice in the school environments. Therefore, it is needed to establish and provide training programs for school health teachers so that they can have reflections on their gender perspectives themselves, which may lead to true educational changes based on gender equality.
