论教会
━━神在地上的居所
一、序言
中古教会神学家亚奎那斯（Thomas Aguinas）称教会为“神之奇妙兼神圣的奥秘”〔注
1〕，但这“奥秘”对甚多信徒仍是奥秘；虽然今日“教会增长”、“教会更新”、“教
会合一”、“教会在宣教”、“教会与社会”、“教会在时代的尖端”等类的旗帜到处
高扬，毕竟大部分的信徒对教会的神学论据仍讳莫如深，故“教会论”正是基要信仰研
究范围内一项重要课题〔注2〕。美国明州伯特利神学院教授M. J. Erickson博士说得对
：“若我们不明白教会的神学真理，我们亦不能正确地指出教会与世界的关系”〔注3〕
。
二、教会的定义
教会的定义可先循三方面获得一些基本观念，进而立下正确的定义。
A.教会的字汇
1.古典希腊文━━“教会”（ekklesia，意“呼召出来”）一词在希腊古典文献内（请
如柏拉图，Xenophon, Herodotus, Euripides, Thucydides等）乃一通俗的词汇，常指
“公众集会”，含政治色彩（参徒19:32，39，41）；在古典希腊文学中，此字只有三次
描写“宗教集会”，实属罕见〔注4〕。

Current convention however, favors the name "Orthodox Church", perhaps
partly to avoid confusion with the Roman Catholic Church, especially its
Eastern rites.
不过，东正教和天主教是可以互领Communion的，1054年产生的裂痕正在弥补——教宗
多次和东正教牧首联合作rite。我个人也认为——东正教和天主教应该是一个整体。

发帖数: 12188 | 34 前边先废两句话：
先小议一下明朝的拉丁文学习，当时对于教友而言就是如何诵念背诵教会的基本经文。
因为当时欧洲宗教改革带来的民族语言运动尚未兴起，教会只允许大家使用拉丁文写作
，所以当时而言学习经文就是学习拉丁文。
当时的拉丁经文的学习背诵方式主要是以汉字注音的方式来进行。也因为当时翻译拉丁
经文因无法从汉语找出相对应的意思，所以早期的拉丁文经文的术语都是用汉字注音，
比如BAPTISMUM 圣洗，翻译为拔弟斯魔。
COMMUNION 领圣体，翻译为共蒙仰拔弟斯摩。前面一半是意译，后面加上一个音译的尾
巴（ismum），其实似乎没有必要。感觉注音是不是有点不准？问题出在明朝的官话也
就是当时的国语是以南京话为基础的。所以其发言是和当时的的南京（江淮）方言相同
的。
不过要注意两点：
一、现代南京话和明朝南京话是不一样的。明代的南京话（江淮话）属于南方话，现在
已经胡化变成北方话了。
二、注音法本身就是不科学，不严谨的。这也是国人学习外国语言一种权宜之计。就如
伊斯兰教也是用注音法来念阿拉伯文一样，这等注音之法都是上不得台面的。好了言归

But who are the women who stand by the dictators?
In December 2010, the French first lady Carla Bruni sat down to lunch under
the gold chandeliers of the Elysée palace with Asma al-Assad, wife of the
Syrian leader Bashar. As they sat demurely with their husbands around a
butterfly-print tablecloth dominated by a pastel flower-arrangement, a
photographer was ushered in to grab a picture for French celebrity magazines

It’s been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week for the beleaguered
Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren. So naturally it’s time
for me to beat up on her some more.
First off, Warren’s recently-released tax returns inadvertently revealed
how she really feels about taxes. Warren and incumbent Scott Brown both
released four years of tax returns in response to a request from the Boston
Globe. For most of the period, the earnings of Warren and h... 阅读全帖 |

lady:

her Catholic faith and serving as a delegate to Florida Girls State, a

It's a criticism levelled by many. It's one I've levelled in the past
unthinkingly. And yet I distinctly remember as a child being struck by the
beauty and the holiness of the Churches my mother used to take me to as a
child living in Spain. It stayed with me. And in some way, it drew me back.
There is something about the huge-ness, the awe-someness, the intrigue and
the magnetism of a Cathedral. And thankfully, there are those who defend
the building of same... 阅读全帖 |

Brandon Vogt is going to the core of why the divide is so vast and seemingly
unbridgeable:
In light of the Chick-Fil-A controversy, I now realize modern man is
almost incapable of distinguishing between these four things:
1. Approval and Implicit Condemnation. Just because you support one
thing doesn’t mean you’re viciously antagonistic toward another (i.e. “

Gay marriage? It came up at dinner Down Under this time last year, and the
prominent Aussie politician on my right said matter-of-factly, “It’s not
about expanding marriage, it’s about destroying marriage.”
That would be the most obvious explanation as to why the same societal
groups who assured us in the Seventies that marriage was either (a) a “
meaningless piece of paper” or (b) institutionalized rape are now insisting
it’s a univ... 阅读全帖 |

Rural America Is the New ‘Inner City’
A Wall Street Journal analysis shows that since the 1990s, sparsely
populated counties have replaced large cities as America’s most troubled
areas by key measures of socioeconomic well-being—a decline that’s
accelerating
At the corner where East North Street meets North Cherry Street in the small
Ohio town of Kenton, the Immaculate Conception Church keeps a handwritten
record of major ceremonies. Over the last decade, according to these
