台灣基督長老教會的宣教策略中,夥伴關係是其重要的宣教策略(在其的策略上佔有相當的影響力)。漢族教會與原住民的夥伴關係,經常透過提供財務,聖經及神學培訓來支持當地小型原住民教會。然而,漢族教會與原住民教會合作當中──更正確來說,泰雅爾教會──缺乏對泰雅爾的文化的敏感度,使得泰雅爾教會面臨身份認同的危機,因此造成泰雅爾回到原來的宗教信仰。本文將以「僕人身分」作為教會夥伴關係策略的核心論點,探討跨文化宣教。以及從聖經神學的角度來剖析夥伴關係,進而解決當前泰雅爾信徒內部的身份認同危機。
In the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT) mission enterprise, partnership is a crucial ministerial strategy among the PCT's membership framework. The Taiwanese (ethnically Han) churches usually partner with indigenous churches by affording them benefits such as financial support and providing biblical as well as theological training programs. However, while partnering with each other, the indigenous churches, more precisely the Atayal churches, often critique the Taiwanese churches for lacking cultural sensitivity. Taiwanese Clergy, for example, often require Atayal Christians to reject their indigenous names in order to receive a new biblical name. This causes the Atayal to experience a crisis of identity, with many returning to their former shamanistic beliefs. In order to lessen the tension surrounding such partnerships, this paper attempts to address the current identity crisis among Atayal believers. It utilizes biblical principles pertaining to partnership, and reflects on how these affirm the Atayal cultural identity, which is necessary when engaging in missions with Taiwanese partners. This research will introduce a framework for cross-cultural competency with the concept of servanthood as a ministerial strategy.
