Abstract
Bishop Ronald Owen Hall (“ROH”) (1895-1975) was one of the longest serving bishops of the CHSKH (1932-1951/1966), presiding over a period of unprecedented turmoil and change.
He became inextricably linked with China from 1920, and was present at the founding of the National Council of Churches in 1922 and Shanghai after the 30 May 1925 Massacre. His efforts on behalf of the Chinese people were recognized by both Mao Tse-tung and Chiang Kai-shek. Song Ching-ling invited him to be the Vice-chairman of the Industrial Co-op during WWII. Chou En-lai invited him home for dinner in 1956. He also consecrated the first female clergy in the Anglican Communion.
ROH is best known for his vitality and pioneering work, and his enduring influence over his flock: in HK he founded 17 churches, dozens of schools, and innumerable charitable organizations etc.
This paper will highlight a lesser known and more personal side of ROH, in quiet moments, when he was at one with himself, his circumstance and his God. These moments led to great understanding and clarity.
Only one such quiet moment will be addressed: in August 1926, when ROH made a visit to Qufu to see the temple and burial site of Confucius, where he followed the Chinese custom and bowed three times before Confucius’ tomb.
This paper will relate some events and thinking leading to that moment, and highlight the influence of the insight thus gained on ROH’s ministry.
The impact on ROH’s views on three relationships will be addressed, namely: 1. the relationship between Christianity and Confucianism and, more generally, non-Christian faiths; 2. the relationship among different Christian denominations; and 3. the relationship between Christianity and the State, specifically with the People’s Republic of China.
No conclusions will be drawn as ROH’s work continues. ROH’s bold vision and prescience is still refreshing and current.
摘要
何明華主教(1895-1975)是〈中華聖公會〉奉職主教任期最長人士之一(1932-1951/1966)。其主政期間社會處於前所未見的轉變和動蕩。
何氏自1920年即與中國結下不解之緣,更欣幸蒞臨1922年〈全國基督教協進會〉之成立並于1925年〈五卅慘案〉后抵達上海。何氏對中國的貢獻,分別被毛澤東、蔣介石褒揚。二次世界大戰期間,宋慶齡邀何氏出任〈工業合作社〉副主席。周恩來伉儷于1956年設家宴款待之。他還施按禮,授李添愛女士聖職,創聖公會之先河。
何氏以其活力和創新氣魄以及對其牧眾的持久影響著稱。僅在香港,他即創辦17所教堂、幾十所學校以及難以盡列的衆多慈善機構。
本文以何氏較不爲人知和較私人的一面為題,即其靜祈時刻。此時,他和其自身、其處境以及其奉信之神融為一體,爲他帶來更深刻的理解和徹悟。
本文僅描述一起這樣的靜祈時刻。事源1926年8月 ,何氏前往曲阜參觀孔廟和孔陵,依循中國傳統習俗,向孔陵行三鞠躬禮。
文章描述若干導致該靜祈時刻的事件和認知歷程,並突現此次之徹悟對何氏日後牧職之影響。
文章探討此次的領悟,如何影響何氏對三種關係的看法,即:(一)基督教和孔子學説的關係,並引伸至神和中國的關係;(二)基督教各教派之間的關係; 以及(三)基督教和國家,尤其是和中華人民共和國的關係。
文章不妄下結論,蓋因何氏之事業仍在進行。何氏的大膽見識和前瞻性,依然令人耳目一新又緊貼時弊。
