Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper will seek to present and examine selected accounts from the RERC archive which have ‘rural’ at their heart. This will be done primarily by describing and analysing religious experiences that occur within a rural context or which have ‘rural’ as a key feature. Hand-in-hand with this analysis – and partly as a result of it – will be an application for the rural church to recognise the importance and significance of religious experience. Throughout, the related questions will be addressed: what is it about these experiences that should persuade the rural church to take them seriously and what form should any response(s) to them take? The paper concludes with some suggestions for future research.

“神圣的东西”——宗教体验与乡村教会

摘要：本文将展示和研究RERC档案中以“农村”为核心的精选账户。这将主要通过描述和分析发生在农村背景下或以“农村”为主要特征的宗教经历来实现。与这一分析相结合——部分原因是这一分析——将是乡村教会认识到宗教体验的重要性和意义的一种应用。在整个过程中，相关问题将得到解决：是什么样的经历应该说服乡村教会认真对待这些经历，以及对这些经历的任何回应应该采取什么形式？文章最后对今后的研究提出了一些建议。
