This study is trying to investigate some interpretations on the social role of English churches as well as the growth and decline of churches in the Victorian age. Through this study, we are going to find the reasons about the crisis of Korean churches and the renewal method for it. To achieve this task, this study is divided into three parts as follows: Firstly, some theologians’ interpretations about church growth and decline in the Victorian age will be specifically investigated. In this part, we are going to look into the right time when the phenomenon of ‘religious boom’ of the Victorian church finished. Secondly, the reasons for the crisis of the Victorian church are going to be studied. Here, we will search for various reasons how churches today may fall into the crisis. Thirdly, social roles of the church will be searched. Whether the Victorian church in the Nineteenth century acted as a tool of social control or as a tool of social reform will be studied. In conclusion, we will deeply think of some instructions that English churches in the Victorian age give to Korean churches nowadays.
