**课程名称：教会——在世界中，而非属世界** **课程概述：** 本课程将探讨教会随着时代变迁所经历的深刻变化。从曾经积极改善世界的强大力量，到如今面对邪恶侵蚀感到无力；从曾被视为积极正面的存在、被社区所寻求，到现在却被许多社区所排斥。许多人不禁要问，究竟发生了什么？ 家庭和社会结构的巨大变迁无疑对教会的有效性产生了深远影响。然而，这些变化并非前所未有。早期教会以及历代教会都曾面临相似的困境。特别是在发展中国家，教会常常身处对福音充满敌意的社区环境中，面临着与此类似的挑战。 课程指出，问题的关键在于，美国教会曾在美国社会中取得了巨大的成功，以至于它忘记了“边缘者”的身份，并对其影响力的衰退感到震惊。历史上，教会凭借其见证反复克服了来自世界的反对。而今，美国教会却因为变得与周围世界同质化，而疏忽了自身的见证。 **课程内容：** 本课程将回顾社会变迁对教会的影响，并深入剖析教会历史上如何成功克服了类似的挑战。通过对这些历史经验的学习，课程旨在帮助学员理解教会当前所处的境况，并探索如何在当今世界中重拾并彰显其独特性和影响力。
Those of us who have lived over a half century have seen vast changes in the church. It has gone from being a strong force in improving the world to feeling helpless to stem the tide of evil creeping over the world. It has gone from seen as a positive presence, sought by communities to a negative one shunned by many communities. Many people wonder what happened. There have been vast changes in the family and the community that have greatly affected the church and its effectiveness. Yet, these changes are nothing new. The early church faced similar circumstances, as did the church down through the ages. In fact, churches in underdeveloped nations face very similar situations where they dwell in a community which is hostile to the Gospel. The difference lies in the fact that the church was so successful in America in changing the communities around it that it forgot what it meant to be an outcast and is shocked by its fall from influence. The church has repeatedly overcome the opposition of the world through its witness, but the church in America has allowed its witness to be lost as it has become like the world around it. This course reviews the changes in society and the effect they have had on the church and how the church has overcome similar circumstances in the past.
