Introduction to A Common Word Between Us and You

( "우리와 여러분간의 공통적 말씀" 의 소개 )


On October 13th 2006, one month to the day after Pope Benedict XVI’s Regensburg address of September 13th 2006, 38 Islamic authorities and scholars from around the world, representing all denominations and schools of thought, joined together to deliver an answer to the Pope in the spirit of open intellectual exchange and mutual understanding. In their Open Letter to the Pope (see english.pdf), for the first time in recent history, Muslim scholars from every branch of Islam spoke with one voice about the true teachings of Islam.
 
( 교황 베네딕트 16세의 2006년 9월 13일 레겐스버그 연설이 있은 후 한달뒤 2006년 10월 13일에 세계의 이슬람의 모든 교파들을 대표하는 38개 교단과 신학자들은 상호 이해와 마음을 터놓는 교류의 정신을 가지고 교황에게 화답하는 메지지를 보냈다. 교황에 보내는 공개 서한을 통하여 모든 교파의 이슬람 신학자들은 근대 역사상 최초로 진정한 이슬람의 가르침을 가지고 한 목소리를 내었다. )
 

Exactly one year after that letter, on October 13th 2007 Muslims expanded their message. In A Common Word Between Us and You, 138 Muslim scholars, clerics and intellectuals have unanimously come together for the first time since the days of the Prophet r to declare the common ground between Christianity and Islam. Like the Open Letter, the signatories to this message come from every denomination and school of thought in Islam. Every major Islamic country or region in the world is represented in this message, which is addressed to the leaders of all the world’s churches, and indeed to all Christians everywhere.

( 2007년 10월 13일 정확히 한 해후, 이슬람은 그들의 메시지를 확산하였다. " 우리와 여러분 사이에 있는 공통의 말"이라는 메시지에서 138개 무슬림 신학자들과 사제와 지식인들은 함께 모여서 기독교와 이슬람 사이의 공통 마당을 만장일치로 선언하였다. 이 메시지에 이슬람의 모든 교파와 분파들의 대표자들이 서명하였다. 세계의 모든 이슬람 국가와 지역에서 온 대표들이 서명함과 동시에 이것은 세계의 모든 기독교회와 크리스쳔들에게 보내는 성명인 셈이다.)

The final form of the letter was presented at a conference in September 2007 held under the theme of “Love in the Quran,” by the Royal Academy of The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Jordan, under the Patronage of H.M. King Abdullah II. Indeed, the most fundamental common ground between Islam and Christianity, and the best basis for future dialogue and understanding, is the love of God and the love of the neighbor.

( 편지의 마지막 안은 2007년 9월 요르단 로이얄 알 알바야트 이슬람 사상 연구소의 주재와 압둘라 왕의 후원아래 개최된 콘러런스에 제출되었다. 이 회의 주제는 "코란의 사랑"이었다. 참으로 이슬람과 기독교간의 가장 근본적인 공통 마당과 미래의 대화와 이해를 위한 최적의 토대는 하나님의 사랑이며 그리고 이웃에 대한 사랑이다. )

Never before have Muslims delivered this kind of definitive consensus statement on Christianity. Rather than engage in polemic, the signatories have adopted the traditional and mainstream Islamic position of respecting the Christian scripture and calling Christians to be more, not less, faithful to it.

( 과거에 이슬람들은 기독교에 대하여 이러한 종류의 결정적인  일치적 성명을 발하지 못하였다. 논쟁에 휘말리기 본다는 서명에 참가하므로서 이슬람의 주류가 기독교의 성경을 존중하는 입장을 표현하였으며 기독교인들이 그것에 충실하도록 독려하였다. )

It is hoped that this document will provide a common constitution for the many worthy organizations and individuals who are carrying out interfaith dialogue all over the world. Often these groups are unaware of each other, and duplicate each other’s efforts. Not only can A Common Word Between Us give them a starting point for cooperation and worldwide co-ordination, but it does so on the most solid theological ground possible: the teachings of the Qu’ran and the Prophet r, and the commandments described by Jesus Christ u in the Bible. Thus despite their differences, Islam and Christianity not only share the same Divine Origin and the same Abrahamic heritage, but the same two greatest commandments.


 (  이 성명은 앞으로 종교간 대화 운동에 참여하는 많은 세계적 단체와 개인들의 공통 규약을 제공하게 되리라고 본다. 이 단체들은 서로에 대하여 잘 모르고 그 노력에 있어서 중복되는 부분이 있다. "우리와 여러분 사이의 공통적 말씀" 선언은 세계적인 협력의 시작점이 될 뿐 아니라 쿠란과 선지자 R과 예수그리스도의 복음과 성경의 율법의 가르침에 관한 조율을 위한 가장 견고한 신학적 근간을 가능하게 할 것이다. )

In the name of the Infinitely Good God whom we should love with all our Being
Preamble
As members of the worldwide Christian community, we were deeply encouraged and challenged by the recent historic open letter signed by 138 leading Muslim scholars, clerics, and intellectuals from around the world. A Common Word Between Us and You identifies some core common ground between Christianity and Islam which lies at the heart of our respective faiths as well as at the heart of the most ancient Abrahamic faith, Judaism. Jesus Christ’s call to love God and neighbor was rooted in the divine revelation to the people of Israel embodied in the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18). We receive the open letter as a Muslim hand of conviviality and cooperation extended to Christians worldwide. In this response we extend our own Christian hand in return, so that together with all other human beings we may live in peace and justice as we seek to love God and our neighbors.

Muslims and Christians have not always shaken hands in friendship; their relations have sometimes been tense, even characterized by outright hostility. Since Jesus Christ says, “First take the log out your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye” (Matthew 7:5), we want to begin by acknowledging that in the past (e.g. in the Crusades) and in the present (e.g. in excesses of the “war on terror”) many Christians have been guilty of sinning against our Muslim neighbors. Before we “shake your hand” in responding to your letter, we ask forgiveness of the All-Merciful One and of the Muslim community around the world.

 ( 우리의 모든 대존재와 더불어 사랑해야하는 무한하시고 좋으신 하느님의 이름으로 

   서언

세계적 기독교 공동체의 멤버로서 우리는 138명으로 구성된 세계의 이슬람 지도자들 ( 신학자, 성직자, 지식인)이 서명하여 보내온 역사적 공개 서한에 큰 격려를 얻고 또 도전을 받습니다. " 우리들과 당신 사이에 있는 공통의 말씀" 서한은 각자의 신앙의 중심에 존재하는 이슬람과 기독교의 공통적인 핵심을 구체적으로 밝히고 있으며, 이것은 옛 아브라함의 신앙과 유대교 신앙안에 그대로 존재하는 것입니다. 하나님과 이웃을 사랑하라는 예수의 가르침은 토라 ( 신명기 6 : 5 ; 레위기 19 : 18 )에 형성된 계시는 이스라엘 사람들에게 뿌리깊게 내린 신성한 것이다. 우리는 이 공개적인 서한을 세계의 기독교인들에게 뻗쳐오는 협조의 손길로서 기꺼이 받아들입니다. 이에 대한 응답으로서 우리 기독교인도 손을 펼쳐 보답하며 함께 하나님과 이웃을 사랑함으로서 다른 사람들과 더불어 평화와 정의속에서 살게되기를 바랍니다. 이슬람과 기독교는 항상 우의속에서 손을 맞잡으며 살아오지는 않았습니다 : 때로는 그 관계가 긴장속에 있기도 했고 매우 직격적인 적대속에 있기도 하였습니다. 예수님께서 " 네눈속에서 들보를 빼어라 그 후에야 밝히 보고 형제의 눈 속에서 티를 빼어라" ( 마 7 : 5 )고 말씀하셨습니다. 우리는 과거 ( 예를 들면 십자군 원정 )와 현재 ( 예를 들면 지나친 전쟁과 테러 )속에서 많은 기독교인들이 무슬림에 대하여 저지른 죄들을 바로 알면서 시작하기를 원합니다. 여러분들의 이 서한에 손을 흔들기 전에 우리는 "자비로운 대존재"와 세계의 무슬림 사회에 용서를 구하여야 할 것입니다. )

Religious Peace?World Peace
“Muslims and Christians together make up well over half of the world’s population. Without peace and justice between these two religious communities, there can be no meaningful peace in the world.” We share the sentiment of the Muslim signatories expressed in these opening lines of their open letter. Peaceful relations between Muslims and Christians stand as one of the central challenges of this century, and perhaps of the whole present epoch. Though tensions, conflicts, and even wars in which Christians and Muslims stand against each other are not primarily religious in character, they possess an undeniable religious dimension. If we can achieve religious peace between these two religious communities, peace in the world will clearly be easier to attain. It is therefore no exaggeration to say, as you have in A Common Word Between Us and You, that “the future of the world depends on peace between Muslims and Christians.”

( 종교적 평화 - 세계 평화 

" 무슬림과 기독교인을 합치면 세계 인구의 절반 이상을 차지합니다. 이들 두 종교 집단간에 평화와 정의가 없으면 세계에 참다운 평화는 없습니다." 우리는 이슬람 진영에서 서명을 달아 보낸 공개 서한에 언급한 이 말에 진심으로 찬동하는 바입니다.  이슬람과 기독교간의 평화적 관계는 이 세기에 중심적인 도전으로서 자리잡고 있습니다. 기독교인과 무슬림간에 일어나는 분쟁과 긴장은 반드시 종교적인 성격은 아니라 하더라도 부인할 수 없는 종교적 측면을 가지고 있습니다. 만약 우리가 두 종교 집단간에 종교적 평화를 달성할 수 있다면 세계의 평화가 보다 쉽게 이루어질 수 있을 것입니다. 귀하들이 "우리들과 당신들간에 존재하는 공통의 말" 서한에서 언급하는 바와 같이 " 미래의 세계는 무슬림과 기독교인간의 평화에 의존한다"는 말은 결코 과장된 것이 아닙니다. )

Common Ground
What is so extraordinary about A Common Word Between Us and You is not that its signatories recognize the critical character of the present moment in relations between Muslims and Christians. It is rather a deep insight and courage with which they have identified the common ground between the Muslim and Christian religious communities. What is common between us lies not in something marginal nor in something merely important to each. It lies, rather, in something absolutely central to both: love of God and loveof neighbor. Surprisingly for many Christians, your letter considers the dual command of love to be the foundational principle not just of the Christian faith, but of Islam as well. That so much common ground exists ? common ground in some of the fundamentals of faith ? gives hope that undeniable differences and even the very real external pressures that bear down upon us can not overshadow the common ground upon which we stand together. That this common ground consists in love of God and ofneighbor gives hope that deep cooperation between us can be a hallmark of the relations between our two communities.

( 공통의 근거

"우리들과 당신들간의 공통의 말"에 특별한 것은 그안의 서명들이 무슬림과 기독교간의 관계에 있어서 현재의 중대한 국면을 인식하고 있다는 점만이 아닙니다. 그것은 무슬림과 기독교 공동체간의 공통적 기반을 정확히 규명하도록하는 일을 격려하며 깊이 통찰하도록 하는데 더 의미가 있습니다. 우리들간에 존재하는 공통점이라는 것이 단지 주변적인 것에 있거나 혹은 각자에게 중요한 어떤 것에 있는 것이 아니라 절대적인 어떤 것에 있다는 사실입니다.  : 하느님의 사랑과 이웃에 대한 사랑 바로 그것입니다. 많은 기독교인들에게 놀라운 것은 귀하들의 서한에서 사랑은 기독교인의 근본적 원리이며 또한 무슬림의 근본적 원리라는 점을 밝히고 있다는 것입니다. 여전히 부인할 수 없는 차이점과 우리를 압박해오는 실제적이고 외양적인 압력들이 있음에도 불구하고 서로의 근본적 신앙에 있어서 그렇게 많은 공통점이 존재한다는 것은 결코 우리가 공통으로 나누고 있는 근간을 가릴 수 없다는 희망을 불어넣어 주고 있습니다. 신에 대한 사랑과 이웃에 대한 사랑이라는 이 공통적 근간은 우리 두 공동체간의 관계 발전에 신기원을 이룰 수 있다는 희망을 줍니다. )


Love of God
We applaud that A Common Word Between Us and You stresses so insistently the unique devotion to one God, indeed the love of God, as the primary duty of every believer. God alone rightly commands our ultimate allegiance. When anyone or anything besides God commands our ultimate allegiance ? a ruler, a nation, economic progress, or anything else ? we end up serving idols and inevitably get mired in deep and deadly conflicts. We find it equally heartening that the God whom we should love above all things is described as being Love. In the Muslim tradition, God, “the Lord of the worlds,” is “The Infinitely Good and All-Merciful.” And the New Testament states clearly that “God is love” (1 John 4:8). Since God’s goodness is infinite and not bound by anything, God “makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous,” according to the words of Jesus Christ recorded in the Gospel (Matthew 5:45).  For Christians, humanity’s love of God and God’s love of humanity are intimately linked. As we read in the New Testament: “We love because he [God] first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Our love of God springs from and is nourished by God’s love for us. It cannot be otherwise, since the Creator who has power over all things is infinitely good.
 
( 신에 대한 사랑
우리는 " 우리들과 당신들간에 존재하는 공통적 말 "우리 믿는 자들의 주요한 의무가 되는 하나의 신에 대한 충성과 신에 대한 사랑을 한결같이 강조하고 있다는 사실에 찬사를 보냅니다............................           )
 
Love of Neighbor
We find deep affinities with our own Christian faith when A Common Word Between Us and You insists that love is the pinnacle of our duties toward our neighbors. “None of you has faith until you love for your neighbor what you love for yourself,” the Prophet Muhammad said. In the New Testament we similarly read, “whoever does not love [the neighbor] does not know God” (1 John 4:8) and “whoever does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20). God is love, and our highest calling as human beings is to imitate the One whom we worship. We applaud when you state that “justice and freedom of religion are a crucial part” of the love of neighbor. When justice is lacking, neither love of God nor love of the neighbor can be present. When freedom to worship God according to one’s conscience is curtailed, God is dishonored, the neighbor oppressed, and neither God nor neighbor is loved. Since Muslims seek to love their Christian neighbors, they are not against them, the document encouragingly states. Instead, Muslims are with them. As Christians we resonate deeply with this sentiment. Our faith teaches that we must be with our neighbors ? indeed, that we must act in their favor ? even when our neighbors turn out to be our enemies. “But I say unto you,” says Jesus Christ, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good” (Matthew 5:44-45). Our love, Jesus Christ says, must imitate the love of the infinitely good Creator; our love must be as unconditional as is God’s?extending to brothers, sisters, neighbors, and even enemies. At the end of his life, Jesus Christ himself prayed for his enemies: “Forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). The Prophet Muhammad did similarly when he was violently rejected and stoned by the people of Ta’if. He is known to have said, “The most virtuous behavior is to engage those who sever relations, to give to those who withhold from you, and to forgive those who wrong you.” (It is perhaps significant that after the Prophet Muhammad was driven out of Ta’if, it was the Christian slave ‘Addas who went out to Muhammad, brought him food, kissed him, and embraced him.)
 
( 이웃에 대한 사랑
"우리들과 당신들간에 존재하는 공통의 말씀" 서한에서 사랑은 이웃에 대한 의무의 정점이 된다고 주장한 점에서 우리의 기독교인의 신앙과 깊은 연대감을 느낍니다........... )
 
The Task Before Us
“Let this common ground” ? the dual common ground of love of God and of neighbor ? “be the basis of all future interfaith dialogue between us,” your courageous letter urges. Indeed, in the generosity with which the letter is written you embody what you call for. We most heartily agree. Abandoning all “hatred and strife,” we must engage in interfaith dialogue as those who seek each other’s good, for the one God unceasingly seeks our good. Indeed, together with you we believe that we need to move beyond “a polite ecumenical dialogue between selected religious leaders” and work diligently together to reshape relations between our communities and our nations so that they genuinely reflect our common love for God and for one another. Given the deep fissures in the relations between Christians and Muslims today, the task before us is daunting. And the stakes are great. The future of the world depends on our ability as Christians and Muslims to live together in peace. If we fail to make every effort to make peace and come together in harmony you correctly remind us that “our eternal souls” are at stake as well. We are persuaded that our next step should be for our leaders at every level to meet together and begin the earnest work of determining how God would have us fulfill the requirement that we love God and one another. It is with humility and hope that we receive your generous letter, and we commit ourselves to labor together in heart, soul, mind and strength for the objectives you so appropriately propose.

 위 두개의 자료는 기독교와 이슬람이 급속도로 협력의 장으로 나아가는 것을 보여주고 있습니다. 로마 카톨릭의 역대 교황들은 하나의 종교를 이룬다는 목적을 가지고 타종교와 대화를 계속해왔습니다. 교황 베네딕트 16세가 2006년 레겐스버그 연설에서 이슬람과 기독교는 하나의 신안에서 형제라는 언급이 있은 후, 이슬람과 카톨릭간의 신학적 문제를 논의하는 포럼을 개최하고, 이슬람 수장과 교황간에 교리적 대합의를 이루어내었습니다. 이슬람 진영은 각 교파와 신학교의 지도자들과 저명한 지식인들로 구성된 138명의 협의체를 만들고 기독교 진영에 보내는 선언문 ( A COMMON WORLD BETWEEN US AND YOU : 당신들과 우리들 사이에 존재하는 공통적인 말씀 )을 작성 서명한 후 이를 종교 연합적 에큐메니칼 운동을 전개하고 있는 예일 대학의 종교 센터에 보냅니다.
 
예일 대학은 수많은 유명 프리메이슨들을 배출한 대학입니다. 부시대통령과 케리 상원의원을 비롯한  프리메이슨들 조직인 스컬 앤 본( SKULL AND BONE )의 근거지 이기도 합니다. 최근 프리메이슨인 영국 전 수상 토니 블레어는 로마 카톨릭의 협조하에 토니 블레어 종교재단을 설립하였는 바 , 이 단체는 예일 대학의 종교 쎈터와 협력하며 종교 연합적 에큐메니칼 운동을 적극적으로 펼치고 있습니다. 예일 대학 종교 쎈터는 미국의 저명한 신학자들과 목사들과 교단 지도자들에게 이슬람 진영의 이 서한을 돌리고, 위 두번째 자료에 보는 바와 같은 이슬람 진영에 보내는 답신 성명안을 만들었습니다. 그리고 미국내 기독교 진영의 모든 유력한 지도자들의 서명을 받아 이슬람 진영에 화답하였습니다.
 
위 답신 성명의 주요한 몇가지 점을 지적합니다.
 
1) 이슬람과 기독교의 교리적 합의를 이루려는 의도성이 엿보인다.
2) 이슬람의 신과 기독교의 신은 같다라는 합의가 묵인되고 있다.
3) 미국의 주요 신학교 신학자와 총장들이 대거 서명에 참가하였다.
   프린스톤 신학교
   예일 대학 신학부
   하바드 대학 신학부
   풀러 신학교
   유니온 신학교 
   카톨릭 신학교
   제수이트 신학교 
 
4) 카톨릭 교회는 물론이고 미국의 모든 복음주의 진영의 교파들이 서명에 참가하였다. ( 침례교, 장로교, 성공회, 감리교, 루터교, 빈야드파,유니태어리안 등 )
5) 유엔 산하 NGO ( 비정부조직 기구 )로서 종교 연합 운동을 하고 있는 대표적 기관인 UNITED RELIGION INITIATIVE ( 종교 연합 이니시어티브 )도 서명하였다. 그리고 다른 많은 종교 연합 운동을 하고 있는 유엔 산하 NGO들과 독립적 단체들도 서명에 가담하였다.
6) 세계에 은사주의 운동을 전개하며 로마 카톨릭과 합력 사역을 하고 있는 예수전도단도 서명하였다. 
 
한국에서는 조용기 목사가 이 서명에 참여하였다.
조용기 목사는 신사도 운동, 빈야드 운동, G12, 알파코스등의 은사주의적 운동을   한국에 적극적으로 보급하는 주역이다.
8) 서명한 인사중 또 한사람의 한국인은 유니온 신학교의 정현경 교수이다. 그녀는 WCC 총회 대회에서 무당굿으로 초혼식을 보인 것으로 유명한 사람이다.
9) 이러한 종교 연합적 에큐메니칼 운동의 발원은 로마 카톨릭이다.
10) 이 성명에서 루터교와 성공회가 두드러진 역할을 하고 있다. 
11) 미국과 전세계의 복음주의 진영을 리드하고 있는 릭 웨렌( 새들백 교회 목사), 빌 하이벨스( 윌로우 크릭 교회 목사 ), 로버트 슐러( 수정교회 목사 )이 이 서명에 참가하였다. 이들은 전부 종교 다원주의를 표명하고 있으며 프리메이슨으로 거명되고 있는 목사들이다. 또한 이들 세목사 공히 알파코스를 전적으로 지지하고 있다.
12) 릭 웨렌은 이 서명의 주관자인 예일 종교 쎈타와 합력하고 있는 토니 블레어 종교 재단의 고문이다.
13) 릭 웨렌은 조용기 목사를 통하여 한국에 적극적으로 소개되고 있다. 
 
로마 카톨릭은 이와 같이 이슬람과의 연합을 추진할 뿐 아니라, 불교, 힌두교등 세계의 대종교들과도 같은 행보를 계속하고 있습니다. 심지어 정령을 숭배하는 집단들까지도 포용하며, 그들이 숭배하는 정령을 성령으로서 칭하려는 우를 범하고 있습니다. 더욱 심각한 것은 이러한 종교 연합적 운동을 기독교의 복음주의적 진영에까지 확대하고 있습니다. 위의 이슬람 진영에 보내는 답신 성명의 서명자들은 거의 모두 복음주의 진영의 지도자들입니다. 장로교, 루터교, 성공회, 침례교, 감리교등 유명한 목사들과 유명한 신학교들의 영향력있는 신학자들이 대거 서명에 참가하였습니다. 미국에서 이러한 일이 벌어지고 또 이러한 일들을 자연스럽게 받아들이고 있는 상황인데, 한국교회들은 미국의 교회들의 무엇을 배우려 안달하고 있습니다.  서서히 한국에 종교 연합적 에큐메니즘의 물결이 몰려오고 있습니다. 필시 미국과 같은 상황이 될 것은 불 보듯 뻔합니다. 그것은 지금 본색을 드러내고 오면 강한 반발에 부딪히므로, 가면을 쓰고, 진솔한 복음주의인 것 마냥, 은혜롭게하는 여러가지 이름의 성령 운동을 타고 서서히 들어오고 있습니다. 서서히, 모름지기, 파상적으로, 은혜 충만하게, 천사같이 매력적인 모습으로, 평화와 사랑의 모습으로, 그렇게 그렇게 들어오고 있습니다.
 
( 주 ) 정 현경 교수는 ?
 
 프리메이슨인 록펠러의 재원에 흡수된 유니온 신학교의 평생 교수이다. 1991년 세계교회협의회 총회에서 일약 세계적인 여성 신학자로 떠오른 정 현경 교수는 초교파를 연구하는 기독교 신학자인 동시에 숭산 스님으로부터 '대광명'이란 법명을 받은 불교학도이기도 하다. 그는 종교 간 벽을 허무는 신학자에서 벗어나 생명 여성주의 쪽으로 나아가 있다. 달라이 라마를 비롯해 노벨평화상 수상자들로 구성되어 있는 세계 종교평화위원회 최연소 회원이기도 한 현경교수는 자신을 '살림이스트'라고 말한다. 지구와 생명을 살려내는 사람. 그가 교육방송 특강에서 '내 안에 있는 여신을 찾자'고 주장하는 까닭도 생명평화 운동과 연관된다.
