征文：“正定教堂惨案暨宗教在战时的人道主义救助”学术研讨会

　　中国抗日战争期间，中外大批宗教界人士从信仰和人道主义精神及社会正义立场出发，通过多种方式和途径支持正义的抗日战争和反法西斯斗争。他们有的为保护中国人而献出了宝贵的生命，有的在沦陷区设立难民营尽力保护中国平民，有的捐款捐物，有的组织医疗队救助抗日志士，为中国抗日战争做出了重要贡献。比如：1937年10月在震惊中外的正定惨案中，荷兰籍文致和主教等9位国际友人为保护当地妇女而被日军残酷杀害并被焚尸灭迹。随后，法籍耶稣会士饶家驹神父在上海设立的南市安全区、由德籍拉贝负责的南京安全区和南京栖霞寺佛教难民收容所等曾都保护过无数的中国平民百姓。
　　2015年是世界反法西斯战争暨中国抗日战争胜利70周年。在反省和铭记这段历史的同时，为纪念从人道主义立场出发保护平民而献出宝贵生命和作出重要贡献的宗教界朋友、并为反对战争、倡导和平、推动修和、加强友谊，也为配合明年全国性和全球性的纪念活动，我们拟于2014年10月28—29日在石家庄举办一个“正定教堂惨案暨宗教在战时的人道主义救助”学术研讨会。(10月27日周一报到；30日参观，31日离开。）
　　此次研讨会将从如下几个分题目展开研究与讨论：

1. 正定教堂惨案暨文致和主教等国际友人遇害真相的历史研究；
2. 正定教堂惨案的国内和国际影响；
3，正定天主教教堂建筑及相关遣使会与煕笃会在华传教史研究；
4. 宗教界在战时人道主义救助事业中的贡献及个案分析研究；
5. 宗教教义与人道救助思想的关联及其一致性研究，推进国家与世界和平事业。

　　凡有意撰写相关论文或希望参加的学者或者宗教界朋友，请于2014年6月15日前将论文题目、200-300字的论文摘要及个人简介发送给我们，研讨会筹备小组通过您的论文提纲后将尽快回复联系您。所有论文的电子文档应在9月1日前提交。

 A Conference on “Massacre of Zhengding Church and
Religions' Humanitarian Rescue Efforts During the War”

During the Anti-Japanese Aggression War, many religious people of both Chinese and foreign origin, with their religious faith, humanitarian spirit and social justice commitment, supported the just Anti-Japanese Aggression War and Anti-Fascist Struggle. Some sacrificed their lives to protect the Chinese, or set up refugee camps in occupied areas to shelter Chinese citizens, or donated money and goods, while others put together medical teams to assist the wounded Chinese soldiers. All of them made a great contribution to the victory of China’s Anti-Japanese Aggression War. During the “Massacre of Zhengding Church in October 1937”, for example, Bishop Frans Schraven, CM (1873-1937) and eight of his international friends who were trying to protect local women were brutally killed and burned by Japanese soldiers. Safety zones set up in Shanghai by French Jesuit Father Robert Jacquinot de Besange, a refugee shelter in Nanjing organized by German businessman John Rabe, and a refugee shelter provided by Xixia Buddhist Temple protected countless Chinese citizens.

The year 2015 marks the 70th Anniversary of the victory of World Anti-Fascist Struggle and China’s Anti-Japanese Aggression War. As we reflect on and recall that period of history, and also remember those friends of religions who  sacrificed their lives and made great contributions to protect ordinary citizens against the war, as well as to foster peace, promote reconciliation, strengthen friendships, and link up with memorial activities in China and throughout the world, we plan to conduct an academic conference on “Massacre of Zhengding Church and Humanitarian Rescue Efforts During the War” in Shijiazhuang from October 28-30, 2014. (Arrival on October 28, visiting on October 30, Departure from the Hotel on October 31, 2014.)

The research and discussion sub-topics will cover the following areas:

Scholars as well as religions' friends who would like to write a paper on a related topic or participate in the conference are asked to confirm this with us before June 15, 2014, and to supply the paper’s title, an abstract of 200-300 words and a short biography of the author or participant. Once the organizing committee evaluates and accepts your request, we will contact you as soon as possible. All papers are to be submitted in digital format before September 1, 2014.

Both Chinese and English will be used throughout the conference.

The conference organizer will cover the cost of board and lodging for all speakers and invitees. Further information about the meeting will be provided in due course.
