"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
-Matthew 6:33-
The ITW&C understands that for two thousands years, the current, main conservative Christianity has been struggling with Christian tradition and theology.
More than ever before, we have come to understand the limitations of the current, main conservative Christianity's tradition and theology. We strongly feel the necessity of a new, sound and healthy alternative to Christian tradition and theology.
The ITW&C diagnosis that Korean Christianity is now facing a theological crisis and stagnating church membership.
The ITW&C aspires to play a leading role in the movement for the real repentance and transformation of the current main Christianity.
The ITW&C heard the crying of Christian suffering because of injustice, unfairness and oppression by church authorities.
The ITW&C is striving to give Christians real peace and hope and to help carry out the Will of God in their daily lives.
Our ecumenical movement does not to conform with current, conservative or moderate Christianity theology and dogma.
Our ecumenical movement is a new movement intended to unite with the reform-minded global Christian movement.
Now is the time to reform current Christianity to New Christianity.
How? By doing the following!
♣ Healthy Christian Reform according to the New 21st Century Paradigm:
※ Basic Presupposition - Migrate From Idealistic Dualism to Actual Relationships;
① From Blind Faith to Understanding Faith.
② From a Literal Bible Interpretation to an Event Centered Bible Interpretation and understanding the context of the Bible.
③ From Transcendent Theism to Envelopmental Theism.
④ From a Dogmatic Jesus Christ to a Historical Jesus Christ.
⑤ From Intolerant Christianity to Inclusive, Tolerant Christianity.
⑥ From Authoritarian Christianity to Equal Christianity.
⑦ From only praising God to praising and living His word daily.
⑧ Not a Western Cultural Christianity but Our Own Cultural Christianity.

⑩ From a Sin Conscious Religion to a Self Reflection Religion with neighbors.
⑪ From the Emphasis of Soul Salvation to Total Salvation - Body, Mind and Soul.
