This is an exploratory paper which describes six Korean churches in Chicago, Illinois. The report provides historical background on the Korean people and on the social structure of their community in Chicago. The data is based on information collected on the churches during the period from June 1967 to March 1968. Methods used to gather the data included field observations, personal interviews, a questionnaire, and simple statistical data. The original questionnaire, written in English, was translated into Korean and sent to 400 Korean people in Chicago. It contained 40 questions including areas such as personal data, relation to church, opinion on the Korean church and community, and criticisms and suggestions. This paper sought to answer questions such as why there are six Korean churches in Chicago. It examined their problems and offered constructive criticism as to how the churches could become more effective in serving the people. The churches were found to be competing against one another. They shared theological, economic, cultural, and institutional problems. Findings indicate that the Korean pastors are in need of help in areas such as the following: (1) information concerning social welfare, (2) community organization resources, and (3) Christian education and leadership training resources. These findings are based on a 20% return rate of the questionnaires. The study suggests that the six churches coordinate their ministries, develop bicultural programs, and provide special services for youth and newcomers. (Author/AM)
