Kirgızistan'da Misyonerlik ve Din Eğitimi
Abstract
The escape from external threats and misleadings of Kyrghizistan,
which is nowadays face to face with social, political, cultural, economk,
military and religious pressures at an international level, depends on
the application of material and moral values that .she passesses with
her own will. In order to strengthen this will it is important to have·
individuals who assimiiate thelr cultural values and are faithful to their self-identities. Because, for the security of Kyrghizistan people the moral
values that constitute the society's identity must be known and
protected, and the people must be vigilant against foreign beliefs and
values which are tried. to be imposed in different ways.
In resent years, it is observed that the majority of the people of
Kyrghizistan ineline towards religion and try to meet their need for
believing from true and trust worthy sources. The missionaries who
take advantage of the people's this Inciination and the hallowness of
their religious knowledge -that exists from a far- come to this country
under the guise of such various roles as soldier, doctor, engineer,
teacher, member of social aid or peacemaker ... and try to convert those
with whom they make close contact into Christianity through same kind
of promises. Benefitting from the international norms, the missionaries,
who shelter under the umbrella of "freedom of faith and expression"
demand an unlimited right to widen their area of infwence.
In this study, missionary activity towards Kyrghizistan has been.
focused on: the condition and adequacy of religious education against
nıissionary activities; whether the application of present religious
educatiön meets the people's need for believing and their expectations
are all tried to be investigated thoroughly
