普世教協(WCC)第十屆大會的開幕典禮,於 10 月 30 日下午在韓國的釜山展覽會展中心(BEXCO)隆重舉行,本屆主題為「生命的主,引領我們邁向公義與和平」,包含了許多基督教界領袖的祝詞、當地政府代表的蒞臨及韓國教會的感人舞蹈戲劇。許多著名的各國領袖受邀請在大會裡發表祝詞,其中包括釜山市長許南植、大公教會主教長巴多羅買一世、天主教教宗方濟。

巴多羅買一世透過事先錄製的影片向與會者問候、而天主教教宗方濟則是透過紅衣主教庫爾德‧科赫(Kurt Koch)代他上台,在致詞及祝賀完畢後,普世教協中央委員會議長阿德曼博士(Rev. Dr. Walter Altmann)正式宣布釜山大會開幕。

抗議民眾標語強調:耶穌是基督

在普世教協(WCC)大會開幕前夕,超過一千名來自不同教會的韓國基督徒,聚集在會場釜山展覽會展中心的外圍抗議大會及 WCC。這場抗議包含了禮拜程序、詩歌、信息分享。抗議人士各個穿上制服及舉起牌子,有些牌子上面寫著「WCC-NO」、「多元宗教的 WCC」、「你算是基督徒嗎?」

根據抗議者的文宣,他們堅決反對 WCC 所提倡的教會合一運動(ecumenical movement)。他們指出,雖然 WCC 起初所提倡的教會合一運動,宗旨為基督教會之間的團結與合一,但此運動後來卻演變成宗教之間及整體人類的合一運動,並且否認耶穌為唯一能使人得救的道路。


再者,抗議者認為 WCC 在提倡宗教之間的對話過程中,犧牲了傳揚福音及基督的救贖;「雖然WCC在在強調對話能夠讓我們更多了解基督信仰的豐富性,但是它卻從來不提及如何宣揚一個能夠使人轉向上帝、棄絕偶像、服事又真又活的上帝的真理。」

抗議的人群認為,與其他宗教對話不能夠褻瀆上帝,也不能在真理上有所妥協,因此 WCC 所推廣的和平是一種不屬於基督的和平,而最後的敵基督也很可能會是從這樣的宗教之間的合一運動中產生。除此之外,抗議者也堅決反對 WCC 透過捐贈方式支持共產主義的組織及在同志議題上的爭議。

WCC 總幹事議長回應爭議

WCC 總幹事戴維德及議長阿德曼於大會第二天接受媒體採訪,其中問及包括南北韓和平、與亞洲教會的互動及展望等。當記者請他們回應對反WCC的抗議的看法時,阿德曼表示,WCC 對於同志議題並沒有任何支持或反對的政策,更沒有權力代表會員教會針對此議題發言,因為此議題在WCC尚未被正式提出或獲得共識。但阿德曼強調,教會針對此議題的解經需要非常謹慎,並且以愛心來對話。

至於 WCC 期待將所有宗教合而為一的指控,戴維德強調這是一場誤會,WCC 從來沒有這個意思,也沒有計劃取代任何宗教或教會。不過,他認為目前普遍的趨勢是縮短人與人、教會與教會之間的距離,因此他期待在韓國也會是如此。

【時代論壇訊】由香港不同地區的教牧網絡及牧者發起的「守望香港,同抗東閃」聯署行動,於今日在本港五份報章刊登聲明,包括:《明報》、《星島日報》、《AM730》、《東方日報》及《太陽報》,提醒全港市民防範前稱東方閃電的「全能神教會」,不要被其異端邪說所騙。聲明共獲九十二個基督教組織及一百八十一人作個人聯署,另網上聯署該篇名為「提防假冒,慎防受騙」的嚴正聲明指出,全能神教會最近不斷在報章刊登大版廣告宣揚教義,並在各區擺設街站、派發書冊等;然而此教派的核心信仰和傳教手法均偏離聖經真理,例如以《話在肉身顯現》等書籍取代聖經,另立「女基督」超越、取替耶穌基督,因此不被中國、香港、台灣、澳門等正統基督教教會接受。團體呼籲,曾誤入該教派的信徒盡快向各區正統教會或新興宗教關注事工求助。

發起是次聯署的單位或牧者包括中西區教牧同工會、大圍區教牧同工會、將軍澳教牧同工團契、王寶玲牧師、李炳南牧師、李海平牧師及陳誠東牧師。另五個參與是次聯署的宗派包括:中華基督教會播道會總會、香港宣教會、香港循理會、香港浸信會聯會、基督教宣道會香港區聯會。有關聲明全文可瀏覽: http://anticag.org
