承傳與更新: 從艾得理在港學生事工看傳教士與華人教會及青年基督徒的互動

David Adeney is an important Missionary to Hong Kong after 1950’s. He is a veteran in evangelical student ministry. He participated in the university evangelistic works in mainland China until 1951, then in Hong Kong for another two decades.This article investigates how Adeney’s work in evangelical students influenced Hong Kong churches. I argue that Adeney can act as a bridge across the gap between tradition and innovation. He, on the one hand, kept the spiritual tradition of conservative Chinese churches; and introduced the new western evangelical thought to the young conservative Christians on the other hand. He is also a protector and trainer of the young conservatives in 1960’s and 70’s. He helped them to become new leaders with modern and progressive mindset of Hong Kong churches.
