| 摘要: | 本論文主要研究靈修指導應用於教會牧養事工之可行性。本文嘗試通過研究來證明靈修指導對地方教會會友的靈性提升有幫助，並指出在哪些層面有幫助；同時
也藉由這項研究尋找對會友靈性有幫助之靈修操練，提供教會牧養會友的建議；最後根據研究結果來編寫訓練靈修導師的裝備課程，進而模塑地方教會的靈修指導。
本研究進行的步驟乃先查考文獻討論靈修指導的歷史，確定它存在的價值，證明它仍對現今教會會友的靈性提升有幫助。然後經由文獻結果，歸納出如今仍可應
用之靈修指導模式與相應之靈修操練，並且這個模式是適合地方教會使用的；然後基於研究出來的靈修指導模式以及相應的靈修操練，設計問卷來提供新竹北門聖教
會的會友填寫，從問卷結果瞭解靈修指導對會友的影響，以及確認靈修指導可以應用在牧養事工上，並提供北門聖教會一套整全之靈修導師訓練課程（教會有初步運用靈修指導，尚未有整全計畫），以利於持續模塑新竹北門聖教會的靈修指導。
追溯歷史，聖經的舊約和新約裡已可以看到靈修指導的萌芽，它在教父時代開始發展，每一個世代都有它的軌跡。儘管靈修指導在天主教中頗為盛行，尤其從沙
漠教父到修道主義的進程中，有關靈修指導的文獻資料特別多，但它並不是天主教所獨有的。通過研究與探索，靈修指導其實是從神而來，它在聖經中的運用非常多。同時，透過查閱基督教會靈修歷史與現代靈修導師的書籍文獻，發現靈修指導的應用相當廣泛。相較之下，天主教對它的運用容易走向律法與規條，但從靈修指導的大量相關文獻印證了它對教會的牧養是有一定程度的幫助。
靈修指導的模式繁多，本研究從三方面收集資料，然後進行分析、整合及評判，再從地方教會使用的角度進行考量，最後得出最佳靈修指導模式。本研究從以下三
方面收集資料：首先是聖經中曾經出現的事蹟與例證；再來是教會歷史上與靈修指導有關的文獻，因範圍與研究限制，本研究選擇早期教會、天主教、東正教、基督
新教中幾個較具代表性的例子作為主要探討對象；第三是現代的靈修導師曾使用過的靈修指導紀錄，因為他們的經驗最切合今日基督徒的現況。末了，透過合適地方
教會使用之靈修指導模式來進行考量與設計，研發一個調查問卷，提供給新竹北門聖教會的會友來作答，以瞭解新竹北門聖教會所使用的靈修指導是否可以應用於教
會牧養事工，若印證答案是確定的，當然可以應用在其它的堂會上。另外，新竹北門聖教會過去有相當的年日已零星進行靈修指導幫助會友靈性的提升，只是尚未有
整全的課程設計，本研究繼續透過研究結果來編寫一套訓練靈修導師的三年裝備課程。
因著會友們的踴躍參與，總共回收了255 份問卷，通過分析得知，新竹北門聖教會有八成七的受訪者是有基督徒友伴或靈修導師，他們曾經被幫助，靈性得以提
升；並且意識靈性低落時，有四成三109 位受訪者會尋找靈修導師或屬靈同伴的協助。這些人一方面在靈性上給予受導者支持和陪伴，另一方面也在生活上提供屬靈
建議與方向。靈性不是一時的感覺，乃是一種生活方式。靈修導師幫助受導者將靈修連繫於日常生活，最終目標是要活出基督的生命。另外，約有五成八的會友曾經幫助過別人的靈性成長，這顯示受訪者樂意在別人的生命成長上有份。高達九成六的會友，當自己接受靈修指導後，感受到自己的靈性是有顯著成長。由此可見，靈修指導在新竹北門聖教會教會超過半數以上的會友中，已有實際的效果，因此，本研究認為靈修指導對地方教會會友的靈性提升是有幫助的，靈修指導應用於教會牧養事工的可行性也是很大。
This thesis primarily examines the feasibility of providing spiritual direction to church pastoral ministry. Our research was done to explore the effect of prove that spiritual direction is helpful to the spiritual improvement of local church members. Finally,according to the results of the research, the equipment courses for training spiritual directors were compiled, and then the spiritual direction of the local church was modeled.Then, based on the results of the history and background, it is concluded that the spiritual direction model and the corresponding spiritual disciplines that are still applicable today,and this model is suitable for use by the local church; then based on the researched spiritual direction model and the corresponding spiritual disciplines, the design The questionnaire is provided for the members of Hsinchu Northgate Holiness Christian Church to fill in.
From the results of the questionnaire, we can understand the influence of spiritual directionon the members, and confirm that the spiritual direction can be applied to pastoral ministry,and provide a complete set of spiritual directors for Hsinchu Northgate Holiness Christian Church. Training courses (the church has preliminary use of spiritual direction,but there is no complete plan yet) to help continue to mold the spiritual direction of the Northgate Holiness Christian Church in Hsinchu.
The history of providing spiritual direction can be seen in the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible. It began to develop in the time of the Church Fathers, and then has its trajectory in every generation. It is not a Catholic property and possession,although it is in the Catholic Church. Its development is quite extensive, especially in the progression from the godfather of the desert to monasticism, which left significant amount of literature as evidence. Seen in research and exploration, providing spiritual direction is from God, and it was used in the Bible very much. Through the Christian church spirituality history, the books and documents of spiritual masters, examples of offering spiritual direction is widely seen. Yes, on the contrary, the use of Catholicism tends to lead to laws
and regulations, but its literature is to confirm that it has a certain degree of help to the pastoral care of the church.
There are many models on spiritual direction. Our research collected data from three domains, then analyzed, integrated, and critiqued their feasibility from the perspective and context of local church use, and finally we adopted the best model of practice. Data was collected from: first, deeds and examples that have appeared in the Bible; second,documents related to spiritual direction in the history of the church; and third, actual records of services of spiritual direction provided by modern spiritual directors as their experience
is most suitable for our current situation. Due to the scope and research limitations, this study selected representative examples from the early church of Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, and Christ as the main research. Finally, consider and design through the spiritual direction model used by the appropriate local churches, we developed a questionnaire to provide to members of the author’s church, Hsinchu Northgate Holiness Christian Church. The goal is to understand whether the model of the spiritual direction used by Hsinchu Northgate Holiness Christian Church can be applied to the pastoral ministry of the church. Positive outcome of this study can be helpful to provide insights in extending to other churches. In addition, the Hsinchu Northgate Holiness Christian Church has carried out sporadic spiritual direction for a long time in the past to help members
improve their spirituality, but there is no complete curriculum design yet. This research continues to compile a set of three years of training spiritual directors through the research results. Equipment courses.
A total of 255 questionnaires were collected and the members actively participated.Through analysis, it is found that 87% of the interviewees of Hsinchu Northgate Holiness Christian Church have Christian friends or spiritual directors, and they have been helped to improve their spirituality; and when their spirituality is down, 43% of 109 respondents Interviewees will seek help from spiritual directors or spiritual companions. On one hand,
they provided spiritual support and companionship. On the other hand, it also had provided spiritual advice and direction in life. Spirituality is not a momentary feeling, but a way of life. The spiritual teacher helps the mentee to connect spiritual practice to daily life. The
main goal is to live out the life of Christ as the principle. In addition, about 58% of the members have helped other people’s spiritual growth. which shows that the interviewees are willing to participate in the growth of others' lives. As many as 96% of the members feel that their spirituality has grown significantly after receiving spiritual direction. It can be seen that spiritual direction takes up more than half of the service cases provided in the
Hsinchu Northgate Holiness Christian Church. Therefore, the study results verify that
spiritual direction as a service is helpful and can improve the spirituality of members of a local church. The feasibility of inclusion of spiritual direction to church pastoral ministry shows a profoundly positive impact. |
