拉美解放神学教会学的演变与争论

The Ecclesiology of Liberation Theology in Latin America:Evolution and Controversy

教会学是宗教伦理介入社会生活的桥梁。拉美解放神学的教会学大致经历了三个发展阶段：（1）梵二会议前后的酝酿期（20世纪50年代至1968年）;（2）以麦德林会议和古铁雷斯神学为代表的形成期（1968年至20世纪70年代中期）;（3）以基层团体运动的理论化为标志的成熟期（20世纪70年代中期至80年代中期）。通过对教会本质、使命和结构的重新阐述,特别是对基层教会团体的宗教意义和社会功能的强调,解放神学挑战了传统的教权模式。

Ecclesiology builds a bridge connecting religious ethics to social change. The development of Ecclesiology of Liberation Theology has gone through three stages in Latin America:(1) Gestation Period around the Second Vatican Council(1950 s to 1968);(2) Formative Period marked by the Medellín Conference and the theology of Gustavo Gutiérrez(1968 to mid-1970 s);(3) Maturation Period( mid-1970 s to mid-1980 s) along with the theorization of the CEB movement by Leonardo Boff. By reinterpreting the nature and mission of the Church and particularly by redesigning the structure of the Church with emphasis on the fundamental significance of the religious and social functions of the Basic Ecclesial Communities,liberation theology challenged the traditional model of a hierarchical church.
