Ke Zhaotian (first year of Master of Divinity) Zhaotian and his family believe in God. I grew up in the church and had little (or even no) doubts about the existence of God. I decided to believe in the Lord when I was in the third grade of elementary school. However, as I grew older, I also went through the stage of doubting my faith (for example, why do some people who call themselves Christians do such terrible things? Why does God allow them to do this? Why can't I use logic to understand God? ). But thank God, He helped me overcome all this with "faith" and let me understand that God is the truth, above logic; and God is love, and He even gave us His only son, Jesus, as a ransom. How could it be untrustworthy? ...

Assistant Professor of Christian Education She Zhifeng lives in Hong Kong, where there is a great disparity between the rich and the poor. Many churches try to go into the community, contact the poor, and help neighbors with financial difficulties. However, there are also many churches that have lost their enthusiasm and even left in disappointment after experiencing the joy of helping others. This article uses the approach of practical theological reflection to explore the confusion and myths that may easily arise in the church’s poverty alleviation ministry. It uses a church case as an example to illustrate and then proposes an order to help order the chaos in the church’s ministry. The purpose of this article is twofold: In addition to hoping that readers will understand the chaos and order of poverty alleviation ministry, I also want to introduce how practical theology can contribute to the pastoral leadership of the church. ...

He Minchao (graduated in 2018) Teacher at Ma'anshan Chongzhen Middle School I have studied two subjects using the "collaborative teaching" model. One subject is "Preaching", co-taught by Dean Cao Wei Tong and Pastor Lin Guobin; the other subject is "Weili Meng: Worship, Ethics, Preaching", taught by three teachers: Dr. Huan Zhiwei, Dr. Tang Shaoguang and Pastor Lin Guobin Educated. ...

Leung Yiu-ming (graduated in 2016) is a preacher at Kowloon City Baptist Church. The author studied "Pastoral Leadership and Ministry". This subject adopts a "co-teaching" model and is taught by two teachers to explore issues related to being a pastor from different perspectives. Although this type of teaching may have different requirements for students, or may increase the burden on students in certain aspects, it also creates a unique learning environment, which has far more advantages than disadvantages. ...

Chen Hui, a Master of Christian Studies classmate. In the spring of 2018, I studied "Preaching" co-taught by Dean Cao Weitong and Pastor Lin Guobin. Three-quarters of the class was taught by Dean Cao. This is the only subject I have taken that uses "co-teaching". In the past, "Preaching" has always been taught by a single teacher, and it has been the same teacher for a long time. Therefore, most students can predict the teacher's teaching methods, homework requirements, and even review preferences from their senior brothers and sisters. There are pros and cons to this arrangement. The advantage is that it is easier for students to obtain subject reference materials, and they can communicate with their seniors and help each other. The disadvantage is that since they can figure out the grading preferences of a single teacher, it is possible for students to adopt a "score-oriented" approach. learning mentality, reducing the motivation to study seriously. Of course, learning attitude mainly depends on the students' own learning motivation and even their life circumstances. ...

Classmate He Jingwen, Master of Divinity, remembers that when we were in the first grade, our teachers and seniors encouraged us to take classes from other teachers in addition to the required subjects, so that we could learn from each teacher’s expertise in Bible, theological thought, and practical subjects. By studying in the field of research, I hope that in addition to enriching my knowledge, I can also broaden my horizons of faith through the experience of different teachers. In the past two years or so, in addition to studying subjects taught by a single teacher, I also had the opportunity to attend some classes that adopted "collaborative teaching", namely "Preaching", "Introduction to Pastoral Care and Counseling" and "Pastoral Leadership and Ministry", the three subjects belong to the category of practical theology. ...

Liu Yongji, Master of Divinity, adopts the "collaborative teaching" model for subjects that I have taken including "Church Theology", "Preaching" and "Weilimon: Worship, Ethics, Preaching". When students participate in a certain subject, they usually expect the teacher to share his research results on a specific topic and lead students to discuss and learn in depth. In subjects that adopt the "collaborative teaching" model, teachers approach the same topic from different perspectives and demonstrate the diversity of different aspects of the subject through multi-angle analysis and dialogue. In the subject of "Church Theological Views", professors who specialize in different majors put forward clear views from different aspects such as the Old Testament, the New Testament, church history, theology, and ethical practice, and guided students to conduct in-depth discussions, allowing students to learn in a short period of time. Within a short period of time, I learned a deep and broad view of the church. In the subject of "Preaching", Dean Cao and Pastor Lin not only taught the theology and methods of preaching, but also shared their experiences and insights on preaching. After the students gave a "trial lecture", they also received valuable advice from the two senior lecturers. Opinions are really helpful. In the subject of "Weilimon", three teachers had impromptu conversations and exchanges in class, presenting a more three-dimensional contribution to the church in Hong Kong as pastor Weilimon. ...

Lu Yunxi, Assistant Professor of New Testament Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary has a group of talented teachers, each with different gifts and majors; "co-teaching" allows us to use our unique talents and cooperate with each other to move towards a common goal. According to Ephesians 4:11-13, this goal is “…to equip the saints for the work of service, to build up the body of Christ, until we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, Grow up to the stature of the full stature of Christ” (Union Version, Revised Version). The body of Christ is unified in diversity; the role of the seminary is to teach students love, peace, and harmony while encouraging them to pursue their unique identities, passions, and gifts. We must embrace diversity, because only in diversity can we achieve true unity; only through true unity can we grow and experience the full stature of Christ. ...

The teaching team of Professor Huang Fuguang Old Testament jointly teaches "Research and Writing" and "Graduation Seminar" every year. The "Church Worship Studies" in the fall of the 2014-15 school year also adopts the "collaborative teaching" method. Generally speaking, these subjects have one teacher who is responsible for coordinating and supervising the design and flow of the entire class; other teacher(s) are responsible for correcting homework and evaluating student performance. ...

Lin Guobin, pastor, internship director, and lecturer of practical theology. The first subject I taught together with a teacher was "Basic Preaching" taught with Teacher Sun Baoling in the spring of 2008. Teacher Sun is in charge of the master's class, and I am in charge of the bachelor's class. For the first four classes, the two classes were taught together. Teacher Sun is responsible for the first and second lectures, and I am responsible for the third and fourth lectures. In class, the two of us had a lot of interactions, and my classmates also reported that they benefited a lot. Four classes passed, the bachelor's class and the master's class were taught separately, and the students began to practice preaching in class. ...
