Encountering God in the World: Chinese Public Theology and the Call of Our Time
...world. 出家還是入世？ 我們都在時代的十字路口。去年會議中的幾場講座，也正是針對這些交織張力所發出的回應——包括「公共神學與媒體傳播」以及「戰爭陰影下的公共神學」，都讓我深刻反思：我們的神學是幫助人「出家」避世，還是「入世」同行？是建造圍牆，還是搭橋連結？ 從東亞到北美、從東南亞到歐洲與澳洲，華人教會在不同情境中都面對屬於自己版本的掙扎：政策變化、選後張力、文化身份的拉扯……在這樣的時代十字路口上，我能理解想要保有「置身事外」的選項。問題是，我們真的可以嗎？ 這些問題沒有標準答案，也不是某一套神學可以解決的。正因此，我們更需要一個能彼此聆聽、誠實思辨的空間——而這，正是漢語公共神學會議存在的價值。神不是等著我們進入教會才遇見我們；在破碎裡，祂給我們機會經歷祂，因為祂是使破碎變完整、醜陋變美好的神。對神的認識、神學上的真實經歷，確實常常發生在教會之外。只是我們也必須承認，教會的矛盾與傷痕，有時更讓人難以面對。這正是華人教會必須重視公共神學的原因——不是為了某種學術追求，而是因為我們的信仰，必須在現實中活出見證。 The Gathering Itself as Public Theology 這些聚集本身就是「公共神學」的實踐 The inaugural Chinese Public Theology Conference in Grand Rapids, 2024 Bringing together Chinese pastors, scholars, church workers, and...
