三自兩會討論設立主教
(11月18日消息)

早前於上海舉行的中國基督教三自愛國運動委員會第七屆、中國基督教協會第五屆第六次主席、會長會務(擴大)會議,討論到中國基督教設立主教一事,並達成一系列共識,設立相關籌備委員會及工作小組。

該會議於十月十日在上海舉行。中國基督教兩會名譽主席及會長丁光訓表示,他很願意中國基督教加強教會性,他指世界上不少教派如天主教與東正教,都設有主教,而部分北歐的信義宗教會也有主教。他說:「我們不是要成為實行主教制的教會,我們的主教也沒有行政權。現在計劃是使中國教會有主教,使中國基督教能在教會性上更加完備。」

季劍虹長老也強調,中國基督教不會實行主教制:「因著中國教會的特殊性,中國教會是有主教的教會,而不是實行主教制,更不是恢復某一個宗派。」

曹聖潔牧師在發言時指出,丁光訓主教在今年年初組織了一些座談會,意見一致贊成設立主教,認為那是中國教會建設的需要。曹聖潔牧師說:「歷史性的教會都有主教,中國教會是歷史性普世教會的一部分,為吸取普世教會傳統,應保留主教聖職。」他說那樣做將有利中國教會的建設、規範教會聖職職能、加強牧養,亦有利主教在信仰神學方面的權威、加強神學思想建設、抵制異端和國際性的對外交往。
