Korean Protestants - Presbyterians and Baptists especially - have played an important role as change agents ever since the late nineteenth century, when many intellectuals turned to Christianity as an alternative to Confucianism. Over the last century and more, Christians have founded numerous universities, schools, and hospitals that continue to flourish across South Korea.
