Women's Work of Baptist Church in Guangdong and Guangxi (1835-1935)
摘要
浸信会是近代最早来华传教的基督新教组织之一，广东是其最早的在华传教区域，之后沿西江溯流而上进入广西。从1835年第一位浸信会传教士叔末士（John Lewis Shuck）抵达澳门开始，经历一百年的发展历程，最后形成以本土华人为主的教会组织——两广浸信会联会，除了建立教堂、发展信徒外，更在两广地区拓展了各项社会服务事业，包括医疗、教育、出版、慈善、儿童、青年、妇女等事工。本文重点介绍抗日战争之前的1835-1935年间两广地区浸信会开展的妇女事业，包括教会内部妇女地位的确立和提升，教会兴办的各项社会事业中妇女发挥的作用和贡献等，从中分析基督教在近代中国向现代社会转型时期对中国妇女解放的突破性影响及其积极的推动作用。
並列摘要
The Baptist Church was one of the earliest Protestant organizations to preach in China as Guangdong being the earliest missionary area. Later it entered Guangxi along the Xijiang River. Since the arrival of the first Baptist missionary in Macau in 1835, after a hundred years of development, the Guangdong-Guangxi Baptist Church, a church institution dominated by local Chinese Christians, has developed a large number of social services in the two provinces, including medical care, education, publishing, charity, children, youth and women's work.This paper focuses on the women's cause carried out by the Baptist Churches in Guangdong and Guangxi during 1835-1935, including the establishment and promotion of women's status within the church, the role and contribution of women in various social undertakings established by the church. It also analyses the breakthrough impact and the positive promotion of Christianity on women's liberation in China during the period of transition from traditional China to modern society at the late 19^(th) and early 20^(th) century.
