征文：“宗教NGO与弃婴收养”研讨会

　　今年1月4日，河南兰考一场“火灾”发生后，中国弃婴的收养问题，尤其个人和民办收养机构的生存状态引发了社会各界的广泛关注。民政部随即展开了全国性排查。3月1日民政部发布的排查结果表明，目前，全国收养弃婴的个人和民办机构共有878家，共收养了9394名孤残弃婴。其中，个人举办的有134家，宗教机构有583家。数据显示，民间机构是收养孤残弃婴的一支不可忽视的重要力量，而有宗教信仰背景的NGO的潜力和优势，更有待开发和发挥。

　　在民政部肯定民间收养贡献的同时，如何让包括宗教界在内的民间力量转化为政府承认和支持及有效监管的新型社会福利机构，将是有关部门与宗教团体及社会各界在中国公益慈善事业处于转型期的一个关注重点和工作任务，也是未来中国走向“大社会”和“小政府”的途径之一。

　　为总结有信仰背景的NGO收养弃婴的经验，关注民间收养弃婴的未来，信德文化研究所拟今年10月26-27日举办“宗教NGO与弃婴收养——历史、现状及展望”研讨会（举办地址另行通知），进行对话和研讨及交流，希望多层面多角度对这一问题进行深入的探讨。

 

      请结合研讨会主题并围绕下面几个方面撰写论文或给予介绍：

1.   历史、现状、经验
2.   面临的困难问题与挑战
3.   法律框架与政策保障
4.   历史和海外经验及媒体关注
5.   与社会收养经验比较
6.   未来与展望

　　 有意参加者，欢迎报名，请在8月1日前提交论文题目和摘要以及个人简历，（2013年10月1日前提交电子版全文），发送到申修女电子邮箱shenshuangying@yahoo.com;2001@chinafaith.org，我们在收到您的论文题目和摘要后，会尽快回复您。更多研讨会相关事宜，欢迎来电咨询：0311-86860050转。
