地方召會在信仰上的表現是以聖經作為最根本的指導原則 ,並教導信徒以聖經的教導為生活方式並積極傳福音。同時,在政治上的表現是以順服國家權柄為原則,因相信權柄是來自神而教導信徒要生活中遵守法律。但是,過去在基督教團體中間被認為在信仰上是極端的,同時在被中共認為在政治上是反動的,如今透過地方召會與本土華人教會及中共的溝通行動逐漸化解相關議題在理解上差異,促成彼此理解的情況。而本文以政治溝通理論作為分析概念,並結合宗教上的政治溝通經驗來歸納宗教團體的政治溝通過程。 本文的主要論點是政治溝通理論可以解決召會與其他華人本土教會及召會與中共政府的困境,但是也有其極限。透過地方召會與本土華人教會以及與中共的互動中,從神學、儀式、組織型態及對外行動,分為四個類別進行說明。總結來說,召會與本土華人教會的政治溝通經驗適用於憲政體制的國家。在社會主義的中國則需要透過對其國家特性了解,如中共的組織特性,另闢蹊徑建立溝通的對等關係,同時需要在溝通前期花費時間較長。此外,政治溝通雖是以理性作為溝通的基本要求,但是在華人社會中,需要用感性作為溝通的前置作業,以利於進入理性的溝通。
The performance of the Local Churches in the faith is based on the Bible as the most fundamental guiding principle, and teach believers to live by the teachings of the Bible and actively preach the gospel. At the same time, its political behavior is based on the principle of obeying the authority of the state, and because they believe that authority comes from God, they teach believers to obey the law in their daily life. However, in the past, among Christian groups, it was considered to be extreme in belief, and at the same time, it was considered to be politically reactionary by the CCP. Now, through the communication between Local Churches and local Chinese churches, the Local Churches and the CCP are gradually resolving disputes over issues and understanding each other. This thesis takes political communication theory as a analytical concept, and combines the political communication experience in religion to summarize the political communication process of religious groups. The main argument of this thesis is that political communication theory can solve the dilemma between Local Church and other local Chinese churches and with the CCP government, but it has its limitations. Through the interaction between Local Churches and other local Chinese churches, the Local Churches and the CCP, four categories are explained from theology, rituals, organizational forms, and external actions. In conclusion, the political communication experience between the Local Church and the local Chinese church proves that the political communication theory can be applied to constitutional state. In socialist countries, it is necessary to find another way to establish a peer-to-peer relationship of communication through its national characteristics, such as the organizational characteristics of the CCP, and it takes a long time in the early stage of communication. In addition, although political communication is based on rationality as the basic requirement of communication, in Chinese society, it is necessary to use sensibility as a prerequisite for communication.
