From August 11 to 12, 2020, a training seminar on the compilation of the Chinese Christian Ethics Textbook was held in China's coastal Yantai city, Shandong Province.
According to China Christian Council & Three-Self Patriotic Movement(CCC&TSPM), more than 20 people attended this meeting. The attendees included ethics teachers from seminaries across the country, teachers involved in the compilation of ethics textbooks, and young pastoral co-workers who have majored in Christian ethics and obtained a master's degree.
Rev Shan Weixiang, vice-president and secretary-general of CCC, pointed out that ethics was a very important discipline, which involves theoretical research but also focuses on real life. It tried to solve real problems, providing ethical and moral guidelines for people in different environments. Christian ethics systematically reflected on, analyzed and gave direction to the lives of Christians and ordinary people from the standpoint of Christianity. The compilation of Chinese Christian ethics textbooks should not only be based on the Bible and church tradition but also absorb the excellence of Chinese traditional culture, combined with advanced socialist culture, so as to meet the actual needs of the Chinese church.
After the opening ceremony, Professor Cao Gang, deputy president of the China Association for Ethical Studies, director of the Research Center for Ethics and Moral Construction and a doctoral supervisor at the Renmin University of China, gave a special lecture on ethics.
Rev Lin Manhong, deputy secretary-general of CCC and director of the Theological Education Department, chaired the seminar on the textbook compilation. The participants completed the outline of the textbook Chinese Christian Ethics and discussed the bibliography and progress of the textbook compilation.

中国基督教伦理学教材编写培训会议在烟台召开
2020年8月11日至12日，中国基督教伦理学教材编写培训会议在山东省烟台市召开。
据基督教两会，来自全国部分神学院校伦理学授课教师、与伦理学教材编写内容相关专业的教师以及曾主修过基督教伦理学专业并获得硕士学位的青年教牧同工20余人参加了此次会议。
中国基督教协会副会长兼总干事单渭祥牧师指出，伦理学是一个非常重要的学科，既涉及理论研究，又关注现实生活，力图解决现实问题，对身处不同环境中的人有伦理和道德的指引。基督教伦理学就是站在基督教立场，对基督徒以及一般人的生活有系统地反思、分析和梳理。编写中国基督教伦理学教材既要立足圣经和教会传统，又要吸收中华优秀传统文化，结合社会主义先进文化，切实适合中国教会的实际需要。
开幕式后，中国伦理学会副会长、中国人民大学伦理学与道德建设研究中心主任及博士生导师曹刚教授作伦理专题讲座。
中国基督教协会驻会副总干事、神学教育部主任林曼红牧师主持教材编写研讨会议。与会人员完善了《中国基督教伦理学》教材大纲，也商讨了教材编写参考书目和编写进度。
