基督教在弱勢課輔的融滲與實踐—以迴龍教會為例

社會經濟的動盪與家庭結構的改變，單親家庭、隔代教養有逐年增加的趨勢。政府與民間機構也意識到弱勢族群與偏鄉的需要，開始實施許多補救教學，解決在學孩童的困境，讓教育機會均等。弱勢形成之因，以家庭、經濟、社會為影響因素，其中家庭因素佔極大的影響。扶助失能家庭，陪伴貧童是地方教會投入課輔班或陪讀班主要的動機。迴龍教會以基督信仰的教導為基礎，2004年開辦弱勢課輔（陪讀班）協助弱勢家庭照料放學後的孩童，提供餐點、課業指導、才藝、品格教導、安置中心等，多年來扶正不少孩童健康成長，在地方蔚為佳音。本文旨探討教會如何參與社區工作，並以貴格會迴龍教會為例，實地探訪其課輔的運作模式，以做神學的螺旋流程(Doing Theology Spiral ) 檢視知行合一的信仰實踐。

With social and economic turmoil and changes in the family structure, single parent families and grandparenting have been increasing year by year. Being also aware of the needs of disadvantaged groups and rural areas, the government and non-government organizations have begun to implement many remedial teaching programs to relieve the plight of disadvantaged school children and to equalize educational opportunities. Their disadvantages are caused by family, economic and social factors, among which the family is the major factor. Helping dysfunctional families and providing poor children with good company are the main motivation for local churches to participate in after-school tutoring programs or after-school care programs. Based on the teachings of Christian faith, in 2004 the Huilong Church started an after-school tutoring program for disadvantaged children in order to help disadvantaged families take care of their children after school by providing meals, academic guidance, music and art classes, character building, a dormitory, etc. Over the years, the program has helped many children get back to the right track and grow up healthily, which brings good news to the local community. This paper aims to explore how a church can participate in community work. Taking the Quaker Huilong Church as an example, the author visited it personally to study the operating mode of its after-school tutoring program and examine, by means of the Doing Theology Spiral, how well the church has put its faith into practice, thus achieving unity of knowledge and action.
