To commemorate the 104th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement, Zhongnan Theological Seminary hosted a lecture titled "Sinicization Reconstruction of Christian Ideology.".
On May 4th, Professor You Bin, dean of the Institute of Religious Studies at Minzu University of China, was invited to deliver a lecture on the subject of "Sinicization Reconstruction of Christian Ideology," said Hubei Provincial CC&TSPM.
During his presentation, Professor You addressed the critical issues that Chinese theology faces in its current situation. By combining the rich traditional Chinese culture, he reconstructed the sinicization of Christian ideology from four aspects, including Christian theology, Christian psychology, Christian ethics, and Christian liturgy.
By elaborating on the concept of "Li (traditional rites in Confucianism)" in Chinese oracle bone inscriptions, You emphasized that the Chinese church should embrace both "Tao" and "Li." He further added that incorporating church worship and faith life based on the liturgical year could serve as the driving force for the church. Doing so would foster a deep connection between God and the congregation and promote harmony between humanity and nature.

据湖北省基督教两会，5月4日，中南神学院邀请中央民族大学宗教研究院院长游斌教授做了《基督教思想体系中国化重构》主题讲座。
游斌教授从中国神学的实际处境出发，提出中国神学面对的中心问题。他结合中国优秀传统文化，从基督教教理学、基督教心性学、基督教伦理学、基督教礼仪学四个方面重构了基督教中国化思想体系。
游斌教授特别就中国的甲骨文对“礼仪”概念进行了阐述，指出中国教会应成为有“道”、有“礼”的教会。以礼仪年整合教会崇拜与信仰生活，让礼仪成为教会的原动力。联接上帝与会众的呼唤与回应，达致天人合一的境界。
