民国时期基督徒学生团契组织结构探析——以燕大基督教团契为对象的考察

An Analysis of the Organizational Structure of Christian Students’ Fellowship during the Republic of China——Investigation on the Yenching Christian Fellowship

1922年2月爆发的非基督教教运动促使教会大学放弃强制学生参加宗教活动的模式,变更宗教组织模式是教会学校必须考虑的问题,燕大基督教团契正是由此得以建立的第一个以学生为核心的信仰组织。团契建立后,按照社会职业建立以学生、教职员和工友为核心的三部,又以具体职责划分若干部;同时,为促进学生信仰与社会服务的发展,建立小团契组织。在以后的发展中,对团契的选举制度不断调整以适应需要。燕大团契是近代中国基督教界引进团契组织模式的第一次尝试,对中国教会组织模式的改进影响较大,对民国时期其他学校学生团契的建立具有带动作用,具有一定的研究意义。本文即对燕大团契的组织结构进行简单论述,并对其在师生、工友之间所发挥的作用简要评价之。
