摘要

本初步研究探讨了在教区教堂参加圣诞树节的成年人阅读其他人挂在节日祈祷树上的祈祷文的程度。在越来越多的关于公共祈祷场所祈祷内容的实证研究中,阅读他人祈祷的做法往往是从祈祷书中明显的复制模式中推断出来的,而不是从现场观察中得到证据。为了发现现场观察是否可行,在节日祈祷树周围进行了为期两天的四次30分钟的观察。在这些会议中使用的手工计数器显示,平均40%的节日参与者进入放置祈祷树的小教堂时,至少读了一篇别人写的祈祷文。讨论了可能的动机。在这个有限的试点研究的基础上,建议在公共空间的祈祷设施中进行更复杂的民族志工作。

Reading Other People’s Prayers: A Pilot Study around a Prayer Tree at a Church Christmas Tree Festival
ABSTRACT This pilot study explores the extent to which adults attending a Christmas tree festival in a parish church read prayers hung by others on the festival prayer tree. In the growing body of empirical research on prayer content in public prayer spaces, the practice of reading others’ prayers has tended to be inferred from copying patterns evident in prayer books, rather than evidenced from on-site observation. To discover whether on-site observation is feasible, four 30-minute observations were conducted over two days around the festival prayer tree. Use of hand tally counters during these sessions revealed that on average 40% of festivalgoers who entered the chapel where the prayer tree was located read at least one prayer written by someone else. Possible motivations are discussed. On the basis of this limited pilot study, it is recommended that more sophisticated ethnographic work be carried out in prayer facilities of public spaces.
