明天教會工作坊 Workshops for the churches of tomorrow (Bêng-thian Kàu-hōe Kang-chok hong)

20200214 The concepts emerged while learning about the feasibility of having a station in Taiwan and eventually fade away, due to senile disengagement, from St. Louis, Missouri. 這一套概念是月初在思考「在台灣開始一個據點，因年老而逐漸淡出美國聖路易」的時候引發的。

The ideas include designing a series of workshops for preparing the churches for the future with new methods of thinking and human/Christian development. 這些構想包括「設計出數個系列的工作坊以便協助教會預備用新的『人文/基督徒』發展方法迎接未來」

Basic principles for these workshops 這些工作坊的原則:

1. The designed procedures and techniques are for references and trying rather than regulation. The users are expected to variate bases on the special culture of the congregation and the context. 設計出來的程序/步驟和技術是做參考與常識/練習用的，而不是規範。使用者需要各自根據各教會的文化與情境自行調整。
2. The designed procedures and techniques are not for the congregation where the pastors are the sole authority and decision-makers. 這些設計出來的步驟與技術不適用於「牧師全權決定一切」的教會。
3. It is better to have the pastors learn to utilize these workshops, develop lay workshop leaders in the congregation before applying these methods in the congregation. 最好是由牧師先接觸/練習帶領這些工作坊，由牧師訓練出平信徒「工作坊領導者」後才在教會裡廣泛應用
4. The idea underlying these procedures is to encourage lay believers to explore and develop their own understanding, imagination, and skills for related matters. The lay believers' independent ability is the key to Presbyterianism and contemporary theology and democracy. 這些步驟的基本構想是要鼓勵平信徒去探討而各自發展出各自的相關理解、想像、與技巧。平信徒的獨立能力是長老會信仰/體制、現代神學、與現代民主的基礎。
5. 2020/2/26 20:08 Question-based/oriented instructions are preferred to conventional knowledge-feeding instruction. 「基於疑問」與「疑問導/取向」更重於傳統的「灌輸知識」型的教導。
