摘　　要：宗教慈善团体的身份一般被表述为兼具宗教性与社会性的“双重身份”:一方面是基于信仰的“宗教身份”,一方面是从事公益慈善活动的“社会身份”。宗教慈善组织的宗教性身份与社会性身份之间的张力问题,始终是当代宗教慈善活动的“中国式困境”之一。①对这一关系的妥善处理,已被视为发挥宗教界与信教群众的积极作用以及促进公益慈善事业有序发展的关键。For newly emergent religious charity organizations in China,the question of how to resolve the tension between religious and social identities often presents a difficult dilemma.Based on fieldwork conducted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces among two types of Protestant Christian charities,this paper investigates the construction of Christian charitable subjectivity within the current ecology of religious development in China.The analysis of empirical cases shows that Chinese Christian charity organizations increasingly take charity as an integral part of their religious identity,through which the process of a conscious Christian philanthropic awareness and culture that combines faith and charity has emerged.This new Christian philanthropic culture constitutes an essential means for Christian groups to overcome a sense of“otherness”in society and construct a public identity for a contextualized Chinese Christianity within existing policy conditions,one that is not only in line with the spirit and practice of Christian charity promoted by early missionaries in the“social gospel”movement but also embodies a new inclusive culture of volunteerism that facilitates the integration of Chinese Christian charity into national and international systems of public social services.
