摘要
国民革命使在华基督教差会的传教事业受到强烈冲击,但也促使诸多传教士对中国人民追求民族复兴和国家主权平等的意愿表示了一定程度的认同。同时,传教士对国民革命用暴力来反对基督教的行为,及其所表现出来的破坏性感到无奈,这也迫使他们纷纷撤离中国传教区域。但为了尽可能保持基督教对中国社会的既有影响,在华传教士不得不加速将差会权力向中国基督徒转移的步伐。尽管这种权势转移相当有限,但它为中国基督徒在差会中的地位凸显提供了机会和平台,也为基督教的中国化开辟了一条可能的进路。
National Revolution made a violent impact on the missionary work,but the majority of missionaries recognized the Chinese will of pursuing nation revival and striving for international equality.Meanwhile they felt helplessness and pessimism by the destructive violently Anti-Christian affairs.It also forced them pulled out of missionaries region.How ever,missionaries had to accelerate the pace of transition from missionaries to Chinese Christians in order to keep the influence they had exerted on the Chinese society.Although this power transfer was limited,but it provided an objective necessary premise for the highlighted position of Christians in the mission,it also pioneered a possible way in the indigenization of Christianity.
