| Popis: | 103 This thesis would analyze educational system for Christian Laity in Taiwan, including the pastoral and educational concept of the three most influential church growth models abroad and two Taiwan churches’ education systems that aims at promoting church development, which are the "Leader Training System" of Taichung Banner Church and the "Disciple Training System" of the "One-leads-one, Doubling Movement" promoted by the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, in order to understand their biblical-theological rationales, contents of their idea, course structures and teaching resources, and to construct a frame of reference for examining the educational system for Christian Laity in Taiwan. Through analyzing those literatures and data related to church growth and education, this study engaged in the rationale of biblical evangelical theology and the educational system of Christian development. I have personally participated in the training courses of "Two Wings Nurturing Course" and "Leader Training System", to be familiar with the courses and the teaching materials, at the same time interviewed pastors and participants to know the operation of the educational system. Two cases had been studied in this thesis, one of them is the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, which is the oldest and the largest Protestant Christian denomination in Taiwan, while another is Taichung Banner Church (1995-2015), which is a 20-year-old non-denominational church. Through this research, it is obvious that the Disciple Training System promoted by the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan contains an "outward" evangelical direction, whereas the Leader Training System of Taichung Banner Church demonstrated a great inclusive and integrative capability, and mainly aims at an "inward" solidification. Based on these two cases, this study further discussed the way to include issues, such as "gospel and culture", "holistic salvation", participation in the transformation of the world, and the concern of justice and totality of universal ecology, into educational system for Christian Laity, in order to reconstruct a holistic education concerning reconciliation between God, humanity, nature and self.
