有教無類　接軌大學

我們都需要上帝，尤其當人生走到艱難之處，信仰就是那千鈞一髮的力量，讓我們堅毅前行。信徒能持守及理解所信，就顯得尤其重要。神學學習正正能幫助信徒思考、進深及鞏固所信。神學普及教育亦成為明華神學院的核心思考。

Bishop Andrew on Theological Education 主教看神學教育：牧者篇

陳：陳謳明主教／香港聖公會西九龍教區主教
張：張梓賢／聖職志願人

張：陳主教何時開始接受神學教育？神學教育又如何孕育你成為牧者？

陳：我在1989年於英國梳士巴利神學院正式接受有系統的基礎神學教育。在英國學習之前也在明華神學院選修過一些科目，例如是張志明法政牧師的舊約導論及何獻蓂牧師的聖樂課程。我認為在神學院的基礎學習對我的成長及牧職是很重要的柱石，因為整個基礎神學訓練涉獵多方面的科目，這不單幫助我了解各課題的基礎知識，也令我認識到建構神學的方法，以及到今天仍幫助我尋找有關課題的資料來自學。

Archbishop Paul on Theological Eduation 主教看神學教育：教會篇

鄺：鄺保羅大主教／香港聖公會教省主教長
余：余鋒倫／聖職志願人

余：大主教你好，知道你向來非常重視普世聖公宗的神學教育，可否和我們分享一下箇中因由？

鄺：首先，我自己幾代都是聖公會人，自小在聖公會成長，至今亦已服務聖公會幾十年。我不但在香港，亦在普世聖公宗的層面有事奉。這些經驗讓我看到整個聖公宗的存在着實有上帝的美好的旨意。普世聖公宗是聖公宗群體聯繫的組織，是全球 40 個教省的一個契合 (communion)。這個契合的存在是上帝呼召它出來為祂工作的，所以必定有它的使命在其中。面對來自政治、經濟、宗教、氣候、生態等方面的挑戰，普世聖公宗繼續緊守它的使命。

然而有使命，就一定要有人承擔使命；因此我們需要裝備人做這些工作，這包括所有聖公會人，不論是牧師或信徒。神學教育在這方面就扮演了重要的角色。「教育」這個詞的原文意思，就是幫助人將其內在的潛質引發出來；而神學教育則是要幫助人能夠更認識上帝，並順服、聆聽上帝的吩咐以事奉祂、服務世界，承擔教會的使命。這也是我重視普世聖公宗的神學教育最主要的原因。

Theological Reflection on the Environmental Crisis 對生態危機的神學反思

Dr Matthew Jones gives a preview of his new BTh subject Ecological Theology

Humanity is facing some momentous choices about its future and that of generations to come. These choices relate to our attitude towards and ‘stewardship’ of the land upon which we live and breathe, the world we inhabit and call our home. The complexity of life on our planet is compounded by the reality that we face an ecological crisis, much of which is caused and condoned not only by our selfish exploitation of the planet’s resources but also by our attitudes or indifference to that very planet itself.

Where have these attitudes and this indifference come from and how do we change them?

With What Kind of Bodies Will They Come? Disability and the Resurrection in the New Testament

Professor Candida Moss, Edward Cadbury Professor of Theology
Tuesday May 14, 7.15pm

Christians believe passionately in the Resurrection: that they will rise from the dead with Jesus and have eternal life because Christ has saved them from their sins. But what will happen to our bodies: will they rise from the dead with us, or only our souls or spirits? And for those who are disabled, physically or mentally: will they be physically or mentally disabled forever, in eternal life, or will their bodies and minds be miraculously healed as part of our resurrection?
