Abstract

This article presents a reflection on a Catholic retreat for young adults, focusing on participation in faith sharing. After describing the retreat, the author incorporates the thought of Victor Turner, primarily his concept of communitas, to explain why a retreat can be a setting which prompts the sharing of such deep testimonies of faith. The cultural forms of symbols, rituals, sacred space, silence, and solitude converge to form a communitas conducive to faith sharing. To conclude, the author offers that using this lens of liminality can help to shape retreats for young adults across the ecumenical spectrum.

Liminality的镜头：关于青年疗养院信仰共享的思考

这篇文章对天主教为年轻人举办的务虚会进行了反思，重点是参与信仰分享。在描述了静修之后，作者结合了维克多·特纳的思想，主要是他的社区概念，来解释为什么静修可以成为一个促使分享如此深刻的信仰见证的环境。符号、仪式、神圣空间、沉默和孤独等文化形式汇聚在一起，形成了一个有利于信仰共享的共同体。最后，作者提出，使用这种极限的视角可以帮助塑造普世范围内年轻人的静修。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Youth and Theology is an international peer-reviewed academic journal developed and originally published by the IASYM, the International Association for the Study of Youth Ministry, now published by Brill. The journal aims at furthering the academic study and research of youth and youth ministry, and the formal teaching and training of youth ministry. The academic efforts are rooted in the Christian theological tradition and ecumenical. The scope of the journal is to serve scholarship in the broad field of children, youth, faith, church, theology and culture. Research articles in the journal mainly have theology (both practical, systematic and biblical theology) as a core discipline. At the same time, contributions are often interdisciplinary, which implies theological reflection combined with e.g. pedagogical, sociological or psychological perspectives.
