Abstract

Abstract Discourse surrounding Christian leadership is often influenced by colonialistic assumptions and theology that centralizes the role of the leader as change agent. In this article, the author uses Gordon Kaufman’s conception of God as serendipitous creativity as a resource for moving toward a practical theology of leadership that acknowledges colonialistic undercurrents within leadership discourse and responds to the shifting place of the church in our world. Naming God as uncontrollable, unplanned creativity engenders practices of Christian leadership that focus on the power of the community, discern divine creativity in one’s midst, and embrace the mysterious emergence of new realities.

释放创造力:在瞬息万变的世界中建立基督教领导的实用神学

围绕基督教领导力的抽象话语经常受到殖民主义假设和神学的影响，这些假设和神学集中了领导者作为变革推动者的角色。在这篇文章中，作者利用戈登·考夫曼的上帝概念作为偶然的创造力，作为一种资源，走向一种实用的领导神学，承认领导话语中的殖民主义暗流，并回应教会在我们世界中不断变化的位置。将上帝命名为无法控制的、计划外的创造力，产生了基督教领导层的实践，他们关注社区的力量，在一个人中间发现神圣的创造力，并拥抱新现实的神秘出现。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Practical Theology is an academic journal. It is intended for practical theologians and teachers of religious education, scientists specializing in religion, and representatives of other cultural-scientific disciplines. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue. The journal contains contributions on an empirically descriptive and critically constructive theory of ecclesiastical and religious practice in society. Primarily, it deals with descriptions of religion as it is practised. Religion in this context can be understood in the broad sense of the word according to which all appreciative tendencies towards an ultimate view of oneself and of the world can be described as being religious.
