Shaanxi CC&TSPM Launches Training for Pastoral Workers

9月3日上午，陕西省基督教两会在陕西圣经学校四楼小礼堂举办第一期全省一年制教牧骨干素质提升培训班开学典礼。全体师生参加。

省基督教两会主席、会长王俊牧师在讲话中，首先劝勉同学们珍惜这来之不易的机会，努力学习。同时也希望培训班学员及大专班神学生：

 一要“以知识为美”，除了熟读圣经，也当博览群书，阅读教会历史、神学、社会文化知识、宗教政策与管理等方面的书籍。作为教牧人员，只有丰富多学科知识，提高综合素质，才能提高信徒的灵性素养。

二要勤于思考，坚持基督教中国化

三要遵守校规，遵守校纪校规，在集体生活中磨练自己。

四要同心合意，共建圣经学校。要为圣经学校新校区多多代祷、奉献、宣传，共同推进建新校区的建设事工。

最后，李世峥牧师作结束勉励的祷告，王俊牧师祝福，开学典礼圆满结束。

The Shaanxi Provincial CC&TSPM held an opening ceremony of the first phase of a one-year training course for key pastoral workers across the province.

During the ceremony also attended by the whole staff and students of Shaanxi Bible School on September 3, Rev. Wang Jun, chairman, and president of Shaanxi CC&TSPM encouraged trainees to cherish this hard-earned opportunity to study diligently, to abide by the school rules and remain disciplined during the training, to hone themselves in the collective life, and to adhere to the Sinicization of Christianity.

Besides prayer, contribution, and propagation, he also urged them to read the Bible carefully over and over again and absorb multi-disciplinary knowledge, including church history, theology, society and culture, religious policy, and management, in order to intellectually nourish the believers well.

Finally, the ceremony ended with Rev. Li Shizheng’s prayer and Rev. Wang’s blessings.
