扩散与聚合:基督教在我国朝鲜族中的发展历程

The Development of Protestantism in China's Korean Ethnic Areas

基督教传入我国朝鲜族聚居地区已近150年,期间经历了两个不同的发展阶段。基督教在朝鲜族社会早期形成了一种以传教士为中心的小群体扩散性传播发展,部分朝鲜族民众与传教士的日常生活交往形成了对外来宗教的尝试性体验、简单仪式参与及所属基督徒群体自身的身份认同。此后随着众多小群体的发展,更多政治权力涉入逐渐发展起来的基督教教会组织中,基督教在朝鲜族地方性社会进入了以教会组织为依托的聚合性发展阶段。此阶段伴随政治权力的涉入,先后经历了委身发展及非自觉发展阶段到至今已显现出理性化信仰的发展趋势。
